Re: fw_update not working in linux or OS X
Reply #19 –
Sorry for necroposting, but I've got exactly the same issue (on Xubuntu 18.04):
I've just bought the IRToy from Seeed - and they still deliver it with outdated firmware: Selftest says version v212.
Now I'm stuck that the fw_update fails to configure/compile, complaining that:
checking for libusb... configure: error: libusb not found
I've tried compiling both: Jess' version, as well as dpavlin/fw_update (Github). Same issue.
Although I've installed it libusb:
$ apt install libusb-1.0-0 libusb-1.0-0-dev
When I try charitones' suggestion (LIBS=-lusb ./configure), configure just stops earlier with this message:
configure: error: C++ compiler cannot create executables
(Which is not an issue when I omit "LIBS=-lusb", but...)
I've tried finding out how configure looks for libusb to fix why it can't find it, but failed :(
Any help would greatly be appreciated. Thanks :)
