If sendfirm_win.c is redistributed with the LGPL, it can be linked with any proprietary library, no ?
Yes, I think so. Or maybe BSD. Although we can only do that if we know the license from the code taken from creative.com, and it still means that we can't incorporate MTP functionality into the Windows version of rbutil.
That's the easiest solution I think, since libmtp doesn't seem to run on windows.
It does, but Windoes doesn't allow user-land access to USB devices - meaning the user needs to install a specific driver for each USB device they wish to access. This wouldn't be that bad, but I believe such drivers interfere with normal use of the device under Windows, so the user then needs to uninstall the driver after using it...
Songbird uses libmtp on linux & macosx, and the MS library on windows. See http://getsatisfaction.com/songbird/topics/cant_songbird_use_libmtp_or_something_similar_to_provide_cross_platform_mtp_support
According to mcuelenaere, the Songbird MTP source has vanished from their site...
