Install libusb by running the following commands:
./configure --prefix=/usr --disable-static && make
If Doxygen is installed and you wish to build the API documentation, issue the following command:
make -C doc docs
This package does not come with a test suite.
Now, as the root user:
make install
If you built the API documentation, install it using the following
commands as the root user:
install -v -d -m755 /usr/share/doc/libusb-1.0.19/apidocs &&
install -v -m644 doc/html/* \
/usr/share/doc/libusb-1.0.19/apidocs
To access raw USB devices (those not treated as a disk by the mass-storage driver), appropriate support must be available in the kernel. Check your kernel configuration:
Device Drivers --->
[*] USB support ---> [CONFIG_USB_SUPPORT]
<*/M> Support for Host-side USB [CONFIG_USB]
(Select any USB hardware device drivers you may need on the same page)
For more details on setting up USB devices, see the section called “USB Device Issues”.
