| |
| o Visual Studio: |
| - Open existing or create a new project for your application |
| - Copy libusb.h, from the include\libusb-1.0\ directory, into your project and |
| make sure that the location where the file reside appears in the 'Additional |
| Include Directories' section (Configuration Properties -> C/C++ -> General). |
| - Copy the relevant .lib file from MS32\ or MS64\ and add 'libusb-1.0.lib' to |
| your 'Additional Dependencies' (Configuration Properties -> Linker -> Input) |
| Also make sure that the directory where libusb-1.0.lib resides is added to |
| 'Additional Library Directories' (Configuration Properties -> Linker |
| -> General) |
| - If you use the static version of the libusb library, make sure that |
| 'Runtime Library' is set to 'Multi-threaded DLL (/MD)' (Configuration |
| Properties -> C/C++ -> Code Generation). |
| NB: If your application requires /MT (Multi-threaded/libCMT), you need to |
| recompile a static libusb 1.0 library from source. |
| - Compile and run your application. If you use the DLL version of libusb-1.0, |
| remember that you need to have a copy of the DLL either in the runtime |
| directory or in system32 |
| |
| o MinGW/cygwin |
| - Copy libusb.h, from include/libusb-1.0/ to your default include directory, |
| and copy the MinGW32/ or MinGW64/ .a files to your default library directory. |
| Or, if you don't want to use the default locations, make sure that you feed |
| the relevant -I and -L options to the compiler. |
| - Add the '-lusb-1.0' linker option when compiling. |
