I'm trying to make the example HID Data (in vusb -> examples) to work.
In the readme file it is said that in windows I need Windows DDK and in Linux, libusb.

Can I just download the makefile, main, etcand make it work without DDK?

That pissed me off too, I had to give in , I could not make it with out the ddk installed. Once installed compiles just fine ;)

Where did you get DDK?
I checked Microsoft website but they said DDK has been superseded by WDK

I got it working fine with WDK: http://forums.obdev.at/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=3388

Also, MinGW ships with a free version of teh DDK, probably the easiest way to go if you only want to compile the sample.

Edit: Sorry, I see you are using linux. In that case you can't use WDK and I don't suppose the linux build of MinGW will inculde the DDK headers :?:

Where does it say that you need the DDK? MinGW comes with DDK compatible libs, only two headers are missing and we ship those with the examples. So all you need on Windows is MinGW. And even if you cross-compile for Windows on Linux, you use the MinGW libraries which include enogh of the DDK to make it work. I usually cross-compile the Windows examples on the Mac using MinGW.
