Very good! I think you are the first one reporting a working USB
scanner on MacOS X!

Thanks, that was already fixed in CVS some time ago. Looks like the
Linux part of libusb checks for the correct direction flag but the
other platforms don't.

Please describe exactly, what you did. Didn't shared libraries and
dynamic loading (the default) work? This was reported to work by
others. Some needed to change dll.c to use .dylib as postfix.

What didn't work with static linking and what do you mean by "-module"?
We can add platform-specific flags to configure.in, if necessary.

Bye,
