Can you send the patch? Thanks! Here it is. >From 38d5776f728b121ebc0bf9db8da8d745317f55fd Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Xiaofan Chen <xiaof...@gmail.com> Date: Sun, 17 Jun 2012 20:46:40 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] Some versions of dlltool may require a library name for libusb-1.0.def even though the library name is optional as specified by Microsoft.
