Sorry for the "-hdi" typo... As I said, I don't think anyone ever
compiled and tested this on Windows, so I'm not surprised the binary
fails for you. If you like to investigate it further, please go ahead! I
might take a look myself in the future, but I'm terribly busy at the moment.

Ok, I did Christof's step c) and copied those dummy functions (and
basically commented out anything but a debug_post() inside
"hidio_devices()" and "hidio_elements()", and indeed got a binary.
But, it's no use.
I try to get some data on why it crashes but it just says
'segmentation fault':

tried to compile it and gave up. The build system for Windows
seems to be broken and needs to be fixed (and probably switched
from automake to pd-lib-builder). Unfortunately, I don't have time
right now to work on this, but you could file a bug report on the
GitHub repo, so maybe the maintainer will do it.

I'm on Windows 10.0.18362, x64-based PC. I am using a MSYS
terminal with MINGw64. I took the latest code from Benitoite's
repository (https://github.com/Benitoite/hidio) and I am stuck
with "undefined reference"s all over. I attach here the console log.
