[Muscle] problem building pcsc-lite 1.4.102

[Sihan Goi]

Hi,

After some reading it seems like libhal is used to detect events, such
as perhaps card reader plugged in, card inserted, etc. It is used by
default in newer pcsc-lite versions, replacing libusb, which is
probably why when I --disable-libhal, the usb.h error message came up?

Supposing I wish to use libusb polling instead of being event driven,
I'm guessing I can safely --disable-libhal? However, I'm still
confused as to why I get the usb error message, since I already have
libusb installed. Do I need libusb-devel as well for it to work?

Thanks again.
