Well, in theory we can drop our Windows HID code too and just have a single HID implementation instead of three. That would be *really* nice. hidapi is also distributed and licensed so it's easy to just build into your tool though, so we could drop in the source files and just build them ourselves, but I'd rather that not be our default. I see other projects moving toward hidapi as well, fwiw. > Are you really sure that no one is using the libusb stuff on Windows?

I don't know how you re-built the build files on Windows... but originally there was the main ones and then the libusb ones and afaict, no one ever tried to build with the libusb ones. > Why does automake care where files are located? It was complaining about files in subdirectories and how the default behavior is going to change and I had to turn on some options... and I decided since it was just one file now, to drop it in with everything else. -- Phil Dibowitz p...@ipom.com Open Source software and tech docs Insanity Palace of Metallica http://www.phildev.net/ http://www.ipom.com/ "Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind." - Dr. Seuss
