Please move the USB_XINPUT checks to the header file about arduinoxinput HOT 3 CLOSED

After doing it on my local files, I just realized that it doesn't really work, but I think there should be a way to create an XInputUSB api without modifying the Arduino installation files.

As you discovered, the preprocessor checks can't be moved to the header because the .ino and the library .cpp are in two separate compilation units. The preprocessor checks don't carry over.

I agree with you that it would be nice not to have to modify the Arduino installation files but I can't think of a good way to do it. This is mostly a quirk with how the Arduino build system is so rigid. If you want to modify the "makefile" you need to modify the Arduino core. The library and the API are designed to function independent of one another, so the API must be defined elsewhere in the core in order for the library to see it.

If you can think of a clean solution I'd be happy to implement it.

I couldn't find a solution either, so I added #include "MyHeader.h" in XInput.h, it's not a good solution, but it works.
