Ubuntu 16.04 LTS RTL-SDR Package Build Error #95

Closed MaxFun closed 6 years ago

MaxFun commented 6 years ago

Downloaded RTL_SDR ( git clone git://git.osmocom.org/rtl-sdr.git) Then ran root@shorty-Vostro1310:/root/rtl-sdr/build# cmake ../ -- Build type not specified: defaulting to release. -- Extracting version information from git describe... -- Checking for module 'libusb-1.0' -- No package 'libusb-1.0' found -- libusb-1.0 not found. CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:72 (message): LibUSB 1.0 required to compile rtl-sdr -- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred! See also "/root/rtl-sdr/build/CMakeFiles/CMakeOutput.log". See also "/root/rtl-sdr/build/CMakeFiles/CMakeError.log".

and got error "No package 'libusb-1.0' found"

To check for 'libusb-1.0', I ran

root@shorty-Vostro1310:/root/rtl-sdr/build# apt-cache search libusb-1.0 libusb-1.0-0 - userspace USB programming library libusb-1.0-0-dbg - userspace USB programming library development files libusb-1.0-0-dev - userspace USB programming library development files libusb-1.0-doc - documentation for userspace USB programming libusb-ocaml - OCaml bindings to libusb-1.0 (runtime) libusb-ocaml-dev - OCaml bindings to libusb-1.0 lm4flash - Command-line firmware flashing tool to communicate with the Stellaris Launchpad python-usb - USB interface for Python python3-usb - USB interface for Python (Python3)

which seem to indicate I have 'libusb-1.0' if I understand the output

Any suggestions ?

I do not maintain and cannot provide support for rtl-sdr, you'll need to look into resources available from osmocom and ubuntu to solve your build issue.
