My question concerns usblib. Can't seem to figure out how to install and use it with my system and I need usb functions. I'm using CodeBlocks (IDE) and installed it with "codeblocks-16.01mingw-setup.exe" so it came with this gcc compiler. I'm using C and C++. The installation installed properly and I can write, compile and execute programs with what came with it. However, I need a library (usblib) that isn't included and can't seem to figure out how to get it installed and working. I need some specific, detailed instructions. And if possible, I'd like to be able to do this, without having to install Cygwin. And when I say detailed, I mean detailed. I'm kind of a bonehead when it comes to tool chains. And my system is a Windows based system, using Windows 7, 64 bit version. 1) Simple solution would be if there is a libusb library, that is already compiled for windows 7, 64bit, that I can just add the libusb.a library to my system, with the proper usblib.h file. Does one exist? 2) I've downloaded a) libusb-1.0.9 (2012-04-20) b) libusb-compat-0.1.4 (2012-04-24) from libusb.org, but the first doesn't include the compiled library (libusb.a) and the 2nd does include multiple libraries and multiple header files but I can't find any combination that works. So, I obviously must not understand something about this. Is one of these two, what I should be using? Which one, for my system? 3) Will I need a 64 bit version of libusb, for my system? 4) What is the step by step operation to get libusb, onto my windows 7, 64 bit system, using codeblocks and the mingw-setup? Assume I know nothing and you'll be very close to my experience level with tool-chains. ;) I do sort of understand the basics but getting wrapped around the axel on something. I do know that I have to put a library in one of my folders, and add it to my IDE (for my project). And I know I have to point the linker to my library. But when I do all this, I still get errors, as if I have the wrong header or wrong library/header mismatch. Need some specific help, with specific packages to use, and such.
