I've given just a shallow look on Cygwin, but it feels like it just has the static versions of libusb 1.0 and libusb-win32.

With libusb-win32, you can install its driver as a filter driver on top of the current driver of your device, but it is not the recommended way. -- Best Regards, Wander Lairson Costa LCoN - Laboratório de Computação Natural - Natural Computing Laboratory (http://www.mackenzie.com.br/lcon.html) Programa de Pós-Graduação em Engenharia Elétrica (PPGEE) Faculdade de Computação e Informática (FCI) Universidade Presbiteriana Mackenzie - SP - Brazil ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Learn how Oracle Real Application Clusters (RAC) One Node allows customers to consolidate database storage, standardize their database environment, and, should the need arise, upgrade to a full multi-node Oracle RAC database without downtime or disruption http://p.sf.net/sfu/oracle-sfdevnl _______________________________________________ pyusb-users mailing list pyusb-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/pyusb-users
