Even then, we need to have an ftdi.h file which is compatible
with MSVC, right now it is not due to the use of
<sys/time.h> and things like the following.
struct size_and_time
{
uint64_t totalBytes;
struct timeval time;
};
BTW, libusb-1.0 defaults to WINAPI calling
convention (For Windows it is equal to __stdcall,
not so sure about Windows CE) for Windows
(including Cygwin) and __cdecl for other platform.
#if defined(_WIN32) || defined(__CYGWIN__)
#define LIBUSB_CALL WINAPI
#else
#define LIBUSB_CALL
#endif
Maybe libftdi needs to adapt to that as well.
