Lightpack (USB) with Windows/Darwin will crash

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Run boblightd with usb lightpack on Windows/Darwin
2.
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
It crashes

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
trunk, on windows

Please provide any additional information below.
The issue is that libusb_detach_kernel_driver is not available on 
Windows/Darwin, so this block of code needs to be guarded:

        if ((error=libusb_detach_kernel_driver(devhandle, LIGHTPACK_INTERFACE)) != LIBUSB_SUCCESS) {
          LogError("%s: error detaching interface %i, error:%i %s", m_name.c_str(), LIGHTPACK_INTERFACE, error, UsbErrorName(error));
          return false;
        }

(lines 100 to 103 of  devicelightpack.cpp)

See: 
http://libusb.sourceforge.net/api-1.0/group__dev.html#ga21bd343325f558987ca57e4e
281a6d47

If that block is removed, then boblightd works as expected *AS LONG AS THE USB 
DRIVER FOR THE DEVICE IS REPLACED VIA ZADIG TO WINUSB* - it does not work with 
the default HIDUSB driver that gets installed when you just plug it in.

Hope that helps someone - fixing it properly is beyond my c++ skills I am 
afraid!

Does it work for you on osx when you comment that block out? I can just #ifdef 
it out for osx in that case.

I'm sorry but I don't have access to OSX anymore, got rid of my old mac mini, 
so I can't be sure.  I am not currently using my lights either, as I moved my 
TV.
