Compiling against libusb-dev on Ubuntu

Question

I am trying to compile the example libusb.c provided by libusb package (if you dl the source code.)

It doesn\'t work to say the least.

#include 

        

Answer 1

Just en explanation why your attempt to replace libusb/libusb.h with usb.h fails: usb.h is a header from linux-headers, not from libusb-dev. You need #include <libusb.h> instead.

Answer 2

This is what I had to do on Debian. It should be at least similar in Ubuntu.

Install libusb-1.0-0-dev

Instead of:

#include <libusb/libusb.h>

do:

#include <libusb.h>

Compile with:

gcc example.c `pkg-config --libs --cflags libusb-1.0`
