Libusb is missing while trying to compile for Mac (without Homebrew) #18

Open Retroperra opened 6 years ago

Hi, cool thing!!

However; Libusb is missing while trying to compile for Mac

This what the compiler says. I did run git submodule update --init --recursive

Package libusb was not found in the pkg-config search path. Perhaps you should add the directory containinglibusb.pc'`

Hi – I haven't come up with compilation instructions yet, but I'd like to. Assuming you're using Homebrew, I believe you'll need to brew install librtlsdr to get the prerequisites for compiling. Let me know if this helps!

I'd welcome an addition to the README with compilation instructions for your environment.

Hi, no , not brew, I'm using a compiled cmake and XCode. Maybe I can add it via git somehow

You may be able to to build librtlsdr and do a make install with it and then have vcvrack-rtlsdr work fine, but I feel like using brew may make your life easier in general.
