Hopefully this will not confuse the OP. There are multiple cross-platform
library related to HID.

Older libhid (no updates for several years) which relies on libusb-0.1:
http://libhid.alioth.debian.org/


Another libhid for Mac OS X and Windows only:
https://github.com/bfoz/libhid

HIDAPI, the new and popular library for HID device (USB and Bluetooth)
