hidapi does not require libudev for Windows targets, yet the RDEPEND tries to pull it in (which of course fails)

Luke-Jr, suggest a patch, I'm just proxying for you.

Comment 2 Luke-Jr 2015-07-05 22:18:33 UTC

I don't know how to make it conditional on target platform :(

For Windows, you can use elibc_Winnt or kernel_Winnt. CC-ing prefix@ for suggestions.
