[PD] compiling hidio for Windows

[ffdd cchh]

Dear list,

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).

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 (
https://github.com/Benitoite/hidio) and I am stuck with "undefined
reference"s all over. I attach here the console log.

I would very much welcome any idea on how to approach this so I can use
vanilla with my students :)

Best,

f
