syntax error in autogen.sh #123

Closed Duhjoker closed 11 months ago

Duhjoker commented 3 years ago

hi

getting a syntax error when using autogen.sh for configure but cant figure out how to fix

./configure: line 4500: syntax error near unexpected token LIBUSB,' ./configure: line 4500:PKG_CHECK_MODULES(LIBUSB, libusb-1.0 >= 1.0.9)'

Do you have libusb installed properly?

What distro is this? What version of libusb?

Duhjoker commented 3 years ago

Yes I'm using a proot of Ubuntu 20.04. I have used the instruction here https://zoomadmin.com/HowToInstall/UbuntuPackage/libusb-1.0-0

You probably also need the libusb-dev package if you are going to build something against it.

Why not just use the usbutils version that comes with the distro?

tormodvolden commented 2 years ago

If only libusb-dev was missing there would be a proper error message from configure, and not a syntax error. This is probably due to missing installation of pkg-config (which includes pkg.m4). Anyway it also looks like a stale tree: libusb 1.0.9 was the requirement only up to version 0.10, back in 2018. FYI Ubuntu 20.04 ships with version 012.

Ok, not having `pkg-config installed isn't a usbutils issue, now closing, thanks!
