Thanks for the information Greg.  Somehow I missed that resource.

The nice thing about using a package manager for macos is that the package maintainer will make sure that libusb is available.  All of the existing macos v5.3.x packages break Solomon's backend because libusb was not built against the static library.  My attempts to build against a static libusb have failed.  From searching the web, there seems to be little, if any, real support for building against static libraries.
