FTDI Plugin not appearing on Archlinux with libusb, libftdi and pylibftdi installed #365

Yannovitch commented 10 years ago

Hello,

I'm trying to install OLA on Archlinux on Raspberry Pi ( I don't want to use Raspbian because of many reasons) and I can't use my open source clone of Enttec Open DMX USB relying on FTDI chip, because the plugin FTDI appears nowhere, neither in my .ola directory or on the web interface. Could you explain me how to make it appear please ?

Yann

The FTDI plugin conflicts with a number of other plugins. You'll need to disable some of the other plugins to get it to load.

If the FTDI plugin doesn't even show up in the output of ola_plugin_info it means it wasn't built. You'll need to install libftdi.

Well, that's what I say, I have installed libftdi and pylibftdi but still, it's not built.

nomis52 commented 10 years ago

Check the output of ./configure . It should say:

checking for libftdi... yes

Yannovitch commented 10 years ago

Well, libftdi was here, but apparently not the good libftdi for ArchLinux. Whatever, I was fed up of spending 2 nights on that, I just migrated to Raspbian, and within 2 minutes, after disabling the plugins, it was good, case closed ;).
