1. $ dnf install git libusb-1.0-0-dev pkg-config 2 . $ git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/raspberrypi/usbboot
2. $ cd usbboot; make

Output

Package libusb-1.0 was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `libusb-1.0.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable

Attempted Fixes

I tried installing pkgconf and ncurses-compat-libs through dnf.

We can't offer specific Fedora support, but you could try installing pkgconf separately, before libusb-1.0-0-dev.

Thanks! Yep, figured this was user error on my part.

Working fix

rm -rfv "<your path here>" # /home/user/usbboot in my case
sudo dnf install libusb1-devel
git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/raspberrypi/usbboot
cd usbboot
make

👍
