How to install and use a shared libary, via a .dll? - ninjaisfast - Jul-09-2020
I'm trying to control my Elgato Stream Deck via Python, and am trying to follow the steps here: https://python-elgato-streamdeck.readthedocs.io/en/stable/pages/backend_libusb_hidapi.html
There are further instructions here: https://github.com/libusb/hidapi#build-instructions
Unfortunately I can't get anything to work, and I know I'm not setting things up properly because I'm not sure what to do with the downloaded .dll and .lib files. In Pycharm, I always get the error:
Quote:('Probe failed to find any functional HID backend.', {'libusb': TransportError("No suitable LibUSB HIDAPI library found on this system. Is the 'hidapi.dll' library installed?")})
The instructions I can find seem more advanced than what I know how to do. I know this isn't exactly a python specific issue but I'm not sure where to get help.
Thanks for any help or suggestions.
