I've replaced the libusb-0.1 Windows files with the libusb-1.0 ones now (I chose the mingw 64 bit ones). It should be buildable with cygwin now, but I wasn't really able to test that yet. |
|
I did test trying to build it on msys2, but it wasn't working because the compiler couldn't find The command I used to build is |

I've converted this to a draft right now. This should be rebased on master after #20 is merged and extended a little bit to make sure the Windows version still works. The way of installing the driver is different with this version, so I'll need to describe that too. |

So far I really haven't been able to get this to work on Windows and I have no idea how to fix that. It just keeps disconnecting. So for now this will not be merged and I'll get back to this at a later time. |

Hi @sharkwouter is this still pending? :) |

Hey @wally4000, the problem with this one is that it works really well on Linux, but I have never managed to get this to work on Windows regardless of which driver I use. I do not know how to fix that. The code compiles and it seems to connect, but input is not accepted. It's a bit of a shame, this is generally a good improvement, but we need Windows support to work. |

Hello @sharkwouter I want to fork your branch and try to continue it, are you still working on this? |
|
@diamant3 go for it. I've not worked on this for a while, since I don't know how to get it working on Windows. On Linux it works completely fine. |

got it, thankss! |

This has been resolved by merging #60 |
At the moment usbhostfs_pc uses libusb-0.1, which is not really being shipped by many distributions anymore. There is libusb-compat, which does work, but it is preferable to not rely on legacy stuff in general. This addresses #15.
