[SOLVED] Logitech Harmony Remotes - new concordance wants libhid

I use concordance and congruity to programme my Logitech harmony remote in a linux environment.

The concordance devs are moving to use libhid, instead of libusb - the latest compile gives the following:

configure: WARNING:
      libusb support on linux will be dropped in a future release please
      migrate to libhidapi!

Although it is still possible to compile using the '--enable-force-libusb-on-linux' option, I'm wondering how to access the required libhid library?

I can't find an Arch package with it in - and on AUR, the package libhid no longer builds.

The AUR has packages for hidapi. I guess you could try to install it. libhid is something old and deprecated.

Re: [SOLVED] Logitech Harmony Remotes - new concordance wants libhid

Many thanks - that bit now works... problem now appears to be with congruity not working... presumably with the switch to wxpython3.

Congruity 0.18 in terminal gives an "invalid column index" error. Oh well - will keep trying to get this working as it used to!
