| Linus Walleij | a459cc1 | 2009-01-14 21:43:23 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 31 | Unfortunately, Windows does not have abstract USB support and depends upon specific drivers for each and every device you use. Fortunately,
|
| 32 | LibUSB-Win32 provide a solution to this problem. LibMTP takes advantage of the LibUSB-Win32 Device Driver package.
