[libhid-discuss] Windows support?

[Albert Lee]

There's more than one libusb implementation; libhid also works on
Solaris, which has its own libusb, for example.

If you see the libusb home page, it says "Supported operating systems:
Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, Darwin, MacOS X (and Windows through
the libusb-win32 project)."


The only OS specific code that I know of in libhid is the bit that
requests an existing driver to detach, and afaik all implementations use
the same libhid-based code right now which is portable.
