Hello,
I am wondering what the current status of libhid is. Is it still
maintained, used? The last svn commit was back in 2008.
I have been recommending that people consider HIDAPI instead. It seems
to be much better at the cross-platform goal than libhid, since libusb
isn't always the best solution. (On the other hand, I haven't tried
HIDAPI myself. Maybe someone else on the list has.)
I am interested to use it in a project written with Mono/C#. Is it
much
of a hassle to generate the C# bindings?
It would certainly be a to me, since I don't know C#. If you have used
SWIG before, I imagine it would not be that difficult. I suspect the
biggest hurdle would be wrapping libusb for use in C#.
Actually, if you don't need the hidparser library (i.e. you know the
report structures), there is not much to libhid. Look at the source
for the functions which you would use - they are mostly error-checking.
