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 ---> [USB_SUPPORT] <*/M> Support for Host-side USB [USB] # These are most common USB controller drivers for PC-like systems. # For modern systems often [USB_XHCI_HCD] is the only one needed # even if the system has USB 2.0 ports: < /*/M> xHCI HCD (USB 3.0) support [USB_XHCI_HCD] < /*/M> EHCI HCD (USB 2.0) support [USB_EHCI_HCD] < /*/M> OHCI HCD (USB 1.1) support [USB_OHCI_HCD]
For more details on setting up USB devices, see the section called “USB Device Issues”.
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 commands:
pushd doc && doxygen -u doxygen.cfg && make docs && popd
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-1.0.26/apidocs &&
install -v -m644 doc/api-1.0/* \
/usr/share/doc/libusb-1.0.26/apidocs
