I'm trying to install libimobiledevice, (from https://www.libimobiledevice.org/,) on my windows PC so that I can run iPhone emulators and commands when I'm making projects, but I'm having trouble figuring out what else do I need in order to install and configure libimobiledevice. So far following the instructions, I've tried command:

     ./autogen.sh

and 

     ./autogen.sh make sudo make install

These are the errors I get:

 ./autogen.sh: line 13: libtoolize: command not found
 ./autogen.sh: line 15: aclocal: command not found
 ./autogen.sh: line 16: autoheader: command not found
 ./autogen.sh: line 17: automake: command not found
 ./autogen.sh: line 18: autoconf: command not found
 ./autogen.sh: line 23: ./configure: No such file or directory

While investigating more on I installed MinGW (Basic setup packeages,) I've cloned libplist, ideviceinstaller, libideviceactivation, libusbmuxd, (I couldn't find libzip.) Still no where closer for getting this set up. Are there still some other prerequisites I need to check first before getting this point?

You won't be able to run iOS emulators on your Windows PC with libimobiledevice. That's not what libimobiledevice does. libimobiledevice provides APIs and tools for interacting with iOS devices, but not for emulating them.

If you want to get libimobiledevice running on your Windows PC, you may want to have a look at libimobiledevice-win32, which is a port of libimobiledevice to Windows which I maintain.

It allows you to compile libplist, libusbmuxd, libimobiledevice and friends on for Windows using Visual Studio.

You can find precompiled binaries of libimobiledevice here: https://ci.appveyor.com/project/qmfrederik/imobiledevice-net/build/artifacts
