How to use it with rust-msvc?

D:\data\tmp\libusb-rs>cargo run --example list_devices

Is it possible to use these bindings with the dll? https://sourceforge.net/projects/libusb-win32/

@Boscop You've probably seen my comments from this morning on the other issues related to this topic. I've only ever built with MSYS2 on Windows. I posted the steps that work for me in https://github.com/dcuddeback/libusb-sys/issues/4, and there's a PR for a new build strategy that should work with MSVC: https://github.com/dcuddeback/libusb-sys/pull/5. I could use help testing https://github.com/dcuddeback/libusb-sys/pull/5, so if you try it, I'd appreciate some feedback on whether or not it works for you.

I'm trying to make this PR work with no luck on linking: https://github.com/dcuddeback/libusb-rs/issues/17

seems that the remaining missing symbol is because of some differences on the visual studio version used to compile libusb?
