Cygwin is still problematic. I have tested alpha 1 in Windows 7 32
bits with both libusb 1.0 and libusb-win32. Using libusb (either 1.0
or libusb-win32) is not as straightforward in Windows as in other
platforms. It requests a device driver for your peripheral be running
(quite opposite from others platforms, where you need to detach the
device driver). libusb 1.0 uses WinUSB, which I am not sure is
available in Windows XP (I guess so, you might find some info in the
libusb.org website), and libusb-win32 has its own device driver, which
I am sure runs on Windows XP.
Anyway, you have to install the device driver for your peripheral.
Both libraries have tools to make this task easier, please check the
projects respective websites for details.
Best regards,
