If you are using Microsoft Visual Studio:
- Open the relevant solution file in /msvc:

Installing and building libusb via vcpkg
****************************************
You can download and install libusb using the vcpkg dependency manager:
git clone https://github.com/Microsoft/vcpkg.git
cd vcpkg
./bootstrap-vcpkg.bat
./vcpkg integrate install
vcpkg install libusb
The libusb port in vcpkg is kept up to date by Microsoft team members and
community contributors. If the version is out of date, please create an issue
or pull request (https://github.com/Microsoft/vcpkg) on the vcpkg repository.
Destination directories
***********************
The 32-bit binaries are placed in a Win32\ directory at the root of the
library.
The 64-bit binaries are placed in a x64\ directory.

If the compilation process complains about missing libraries, ensure that the
default library paths for your project points to the relevant directories.
If needed, these libraries can be obtained by installing the latest Windows
