[Question] why `gcc` as dependency? #19

Closed Geobert closed 6 years ago

Hi there,

I'm interested into this crate in order to interact with a custom HID device on Windows. I noticed the gcc dependency so my question is will this crate works with msvc target?

gcc serves as an abstraction over all the platform-specific C compilers. So, on MSVC, it would call into the MSVC C compiler. It should work fine.
