Okay.

No, the WDK build of libusb-win32 (almost) has nothing to do with
MinGW, let alone MSys. Unless you want to build the MinGW
import library, you do not need MinGW.

In the ddk_make directory, edit make.cfg file to suit your
build environment. Quite some of them are optional and
are used to build the installer. You can safely comment
out them.

After that, run make.cmd under the command prompt (no
need to under the WDK command prompt) to know the build
options, choose the one you want.
