Hi, After some reading it seems like libhal is used to detect events, such as perhaps card reader plugged in, card inserted, etc. It is used by default in newer pcsc-lite versions, replacing libusb, which is probably why when I --disable-libhal, the usb.h error message came up?
Supposing I wish to use libusb polling instead of being event driven, I'm guessing I can safely --disable-libhal? However, I'm still confused as to why I get the usb error message, since I already have libusb installed. Do I need libusb-devel as well for it to work? Thanks again.
