<p>The order of .o files doesn't matter. It's shared and static
libraries which sometimes have to be specified in a certain order.</p>
<p>The actual problem was that</p>
<p>a) hidio_windows.c used _WINDOWS instead of _WIN32 as a guard
around the whole code, so hidio_windows.o was empty.</p>
<p>b) then there was a wrong header (<ddk/hidsdi.h> instead
of <hidsdi.h>)</p>
<p>c) some methods are not implemented, so I copied the dummy
implementation from hidio_linux.c. It seems like those methods are
only relevant for OSX.</p>
<p>d) there were missing linker flags "-lhdi -lSetupAPI".</p>
<p>Also, I couldn't get the autotools makefile to work, so I just
compiled manually on the command line. Finally I got a binary :-)</p>
<p>To be honest, I don't think that anyone ever compiled this code
on Windows, so it is probably untested. Anyway, when I have time I
can clean this up and make a PR (or just fork it). Then we
probably need some testing before we upload it to Deken...<br>

<p>I remember a similar thread on the list a few months
ago. I tried to compile it and gave up. The build
system for Windows seems to be broken and needs to be
fixed (and probably switched from automake to
pd-lib-builder). Unfortunately, I don't have time
right now to work on this, but you could file a bug
report on the GitHub repo, so maybe the maintainer
will do it.<br>

<div>I need to use external controllers via USB with
vanilla (say, a PS4 controller), and I have not
found a compiled version of [hidio] for Windows.
Please, let me know if there are ready-made
options out there (feel free to change subject
line if that thread goes wild).</div>

<div>In the meantime, I am trying to compile [hidio]
for Windows. I'm on Windows 10.0.18362, x64-based
PC. I am using a MSYS terminal with MINGw64. I
took the latest code from Benitoite's repository (<a href="https://github.com/Benitoite/hidio" target="_blank">https://github.com/Benitoite/hidio</a>)
and I am stuck with "undefined reference"s all
over. I attach here the console log. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I would very much welcome any idea on how to
approach this so I can use vanilla with my
students :)</div>
