Thanks for the suggestion of HIDAPI, but it does not claim to be
usable in Linux/g++ world. Also, from what I have been able to find,
<stdbool.h> does exactly the same kludge with bool, so it won't work.
I suppose I will get the source and build my own version and delete
the offending code. Sure would be nice if it worked as claimed.

I am unable to use libhid with a c++ application since hid.h
redefines bool.
On lines around line 20 there is a macro
#define bool _Bool
#define true 1
#define false 0
It is not legal to redefine reserved words.
This kludge only comes into play if you do not have stdbool.h.
Has anyone else attempted to use libhid in a C++ application, and
if so, what did you do to get around this?
I think someone posted their source code to the list for getting
libhid to compile under Visual Studio - maybe that will help.
A lot of people have had success recently with HIDAPI, so you might
want to look into that instead of libhid:
http://www.signal11.us/oss/hidapi/
It wraps a bunch of things in "#ifdef __cplusplus" so there's a
chance that someone is using it with C++.
