Why can't we have nice things?

libusb on Cygwin

01 March 2015

When you next upgrade, if you have installed a package that depends on libusb, you will get a prompt to download and install libusb-win32. The popup contains the download link, but if you don’t want to retype it, libusb-win32 is available here.

libusb-win32 is a port of the USB library libusb to Windows, allowing cygwin programs that would access usb devices to do so directly. More information is available here.
