Do you need Windows USB in Haskell?
Hi, I keep this direct binding to libusb-1.0.x: http://hackage.haskell.org/package/bindings-libusb on top of which Bas maintains a nice USB library: http://hackage.haskell.org/package/usb Work has been done to support libusb-1.0.x in Windows. So, as long as my bindings-libusb works properly with that, Bas' as well as any other library based on it will work too. Problem is: I don't have a Windows machine where I could test this. So, if you need USB in windows, please keep in touch. I wouldn't ask you to write any code, but I need to know what builds and what doesn't. Best, Maurício

I don't need usb and I can't say I'm a windows user, but I'd be glad to test it since I have it on a virtual machine. In my case, installation fails on "bindings-common". Is there something I need to do first? I do have mingw32 and msys installed, if that's necessary. Log attached. Take care, Paulo

bindings-common fails on windows due to an old version of C library with GHC's windows version of gcc. Current version of bindings-libusb uses bindings-DSL. I'm glad that you offered to help. But usb is not supposed to work on windows yet. The windows version of the C library has been worked on recently, so, I would need someone who would follow closely this still alpha code and maybe even sugesting adaptations to libusb-1.x build system if necessary. I don't think it's fair to expect that from someone who isn't going to use the library. Thanks! Best, Maurício
