Project Homepage: http://www.libusb.org/

Dependencies

Optional

• pkg-config

Optional (For HTML Users Manual)

• OpenJade and DocBook SGML DTD-4.x

Optional (For the API Documentation)

• Doxygen and Graphviz

Non-Multilib

Compile the package:

./configure --prefix=/usr --disable-build-docs &&
make

If you wish to build the API documentation (see the required dependencies), issue the following command:

make apidox

Install the package

make install

If you built the HTML user manual, install it with the following commands:

install -v -d -m755 /usr/share/doc/libusb-1.0.9/html &&
install -v -m644 doc/html/* /usr/share/doc/libusb-1.0.9/html

If you built the API documentation, install it with the following commands:

install -v -d -m755 /usr/share/doc/libusb-1.0.9/apidocs &&
install -v -m644 apidocs/html/* \
    /usr/share/doc/libusb-1.0.9/apidocs

Command Explanations

--disable-build-docs: This switch avoids building the HTML user manual. Remove it if you have the required dependencies installed and wish to build the manual.

Multilib

32Bit

Compile the package:

CC="gcc ${BUILD32}" CXX="g++ ${BUILD32}" PKG_CONFIG_PATH="${PKG_CONFIG_PATH32}" \
./configure --prefix=/usr \
    --disable-build-docs &&
make

Install the package

make install &&
mv -v /usr/bin/libusb-config{,-32}

N32

Compile the package:

CC="gcc ${BUILDN32}" CXX="g++ ${BUILDN32}" PKG_CONFIG_PATH="${PKG_CONFIG_PATHN32}" \
./configure --prefix=/usr \
    --libdir=/usr/lib32 --disable-build-docs &&
make

Install the package

make install &&
mv -v /usr/bin/libusb-config{,-n32}

64Bit

Compile the package:

CC="gcc ${BUILD64}" CXX="g++ ${BUILD64}" PKG_CONFIG_PATH="${PKG_CONFIG_PATH64}" \
./configure --prefix=/usr \
    --libdir=/usr/lib64 --disable-build-docs &&
make

If you wish to build the API documentation (see the required dependencies), issue the following command:

make apidox

Install the package

make install &&
mv -v /usr/bin/libusb-config{,-64} &&
ln -sfv multiarch_wrapper /usr/bin/libusb-config

If you built the HTML user manual, install it with the following commands:

install -v -d -m755 /usr/share/doc/libusb-1.0.9/html &&
install -v -m644 doc/html/* /usr/share/doc/libusb-1.0.9/html

If you built the API documentation, install it with the following commands:

install -v -d -m755 /usr/share/doc/libusb-1.0.9/apidocs &&
install -v -m644 apidocs/html/* \
    /usr/share/doc/libusb-1.0.9/apidocs
