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 WDK/DDK:

  - The following is an example of a sources files that you can use to compile

    a libusb 1.0 based console application. In this sample ..\libusb\ is the

    directory where you would have copied libusb.h as well as the relevant 

    libusb-1.0.lib

	TARGETNAME=your_app

	TARGETTYPE=PROGRAM

	USE_MSVCRT=1

	UMTYPE=console

	INCLUDES=..\libusb;$(DDK_INC_PATH)

	TARGETLIBS=..\libusb\libusb-1.0.lib

	SOURCES=your_app.c

  - Note that if you plan to use libCMT instead of MSVCRT (USE_LIBCMT=1 instead

    of USE_MSVCRT=1), you will need to recompile libusb to use libCMT. This can

    easily be achieved, in the DDK environment, by running 'ddk_build /MT'

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.
