Re: 32/64-bit build - naming convensions

Greetings,

The driver installer will put the .dlls in the appropriate system 
folders so your applications automatically link to the correct one.

Personally, I like having more control over the .dll's so I use dynamic 
linking and and install the dlls to the application folder.  Ofcourse, 
this is more work because your application is responsible for loading 
the correct architecture and since the .dll's must exists in the same 
folder, obviously they cannot have the same name.

If you want to play with dynamic linking, remove libusbK.lib from 
Project Properties->Linker->Input->Additional Dependencies and add 
"lusbk_dynapi.c" (from the include dir) to your project.  You might will 
want to declare the following prototypes in one of your global header 
files; you should do this somewhere after you #include "libusbK.h"
---
VOID LibusbK_DynApi_Free(VOID);
INT LibusbK_DynApi_Init(_inopt LPCSTR DllFullPathName);
---

Regards,
Travis
