Description

libhid is a rewrite of libHID[0] and aims to provide the same functionality from a more organised framework. It aims to provide a layer of abstraction for accessing HID-class devices over USB or serial lines (similar to what libusb provides for the base USB protocol). http://www.ghz.cc/~clepple/libHID/doc/html/ libhid has been designed because it is needed in two other projects (libphdigets and nut). As such, it does not have a complete featureset yet but is rather a work in progress (alpha state). We invite everyone to contribute or get in touch with us for additional features. Please find more information on the project website: http://libhid.alioth.debian.org

*: add LDFLAGS overide that was previously in mk

This is a workaround and should be fixed properly per-package - they should use the pkgsrc LDFLAGS, but this restores what happened before the mk/ cleanup. Fixes relro build for packages that do not honor LDFLAGS. Package list provided by mef@, thanks! Workaround commit requested by bsiegert on tech-pkg.
