libconfuse related build issue

[amb5l]

I am building on a clean, minimal install of Ubuntu 19.04. libusb-cross-builder runs OK, but libftdi-cross-builder fails, not finding libconfuse. I've tried various ways to resolve this dependancy (installing libconfuse as a package, building and installing from source) without success. Any advice much appreciated.

Edit: I see that ftdi_eeprom depends on the libconfuse library, presumably a win64 build is required. I will search for a recipe.

Session transcript follows:

$ git clone https://github.com/FPGAwars/libftdi-cross-builder.git
$ cd libftdi-cross-builder/
$ bash build-windows_x86_64.sh

@amb5l did you ever get this working? I'm struggling with the same issue
