A user-space HID access library written in C Maintained by:ntarmos@cs.uoi.gr Port Added: 28 Jul 2007 09:55:08 License: not specified in port
LibHID is a user-space HID access library written in C. It provides a
generic and flexible way to access and interact with USB HID devices,
much like libusb does for plain USB devices. It is based on libusb, thus
it requires no HID support in the kernel. Furthermore, it aims to
support all operating system supported by libusb: Linux, BSD, OS X, and
Windows.

[patch] Have devel/libhid also install its python site-package
When devel/swig13 is installed, building of devel/libhid
fails, due to my overlooking of the swig detection bits in
the ports configure script. However, swig is used to build
the python site-package of the port, so I've bumped the
portrevision and turned these bits on by default (the
additional patch-Makefile.in hunk is to suppress a warning).
