libmtp in DOS (Developers)

Hi,
i use libmtp command line tools for upload/download files from my wife smartphone under linux puppy.
Work fine and it' s very fast.

http://libmtp.sourceforge.net/

It's possible porting the program suite under dos with djgpp?

Note :without this program it's impossible connect a smartphone via usb cable to pc , due to MTP protocoll used.

P.s. i've make some test with djgpp

http://sourceforge.net/projects/libmtp/files/latest/download?source=files

.Configure start but terminate with a message regarding the serching for a sed do not troncate output...

I guess it depends on libusb for linux. AFAIK There's no such port for DOS, obviously, because of heavy dependency on linux kernel drivers.

No, HX don't provide any USB api for DOS. It would need to be heavily rewritten to cooperate with some existing DOS USB stack.
Maybe Bret Johnson could add support of MTP in his opensource USB code...
