usb 'C aptn' program

atmurali · 11-26-2009, 03:20 AM

Hello,

I have a USB device communication Program in C to communicate with an ARM board.

The program can't to properly "make" the program in Fedora 9.

But it perfectly compiled in RHEL 4.

I have copied the a.out to Fedora 9 and it worked well.

The Source code is

http://mini2440.googlecode.com/files...060807.tar.bz2

I would like to know why it doesn't work in Fedpra 9.
(Library mismatching/ compiler version problems/ kernel changes or like that ?)

hello,
Please see the below
make
cc -g -lusb -o s3c2410_boot_usb boot_usb.o
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lusb
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [s3c2410_boot_usb] Error 1

Please see the source code from
http://mini2440.googlecode.com/files...060807.tar.bz2

Why cant this be compiled?

John VV · 12-04-2009, 04:44 PM

some research would show that RHEL 4.X uses gcc 4.1( i think that is the current update --i run cent 5.4 --) or gcc 3.4 if not updated
and fedora 9 used ( past tents) gcc 4.3 before it's End of Life
you will need to port the cod to use the NEWER gcc
http://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-4.3/porting_to.html
and gcc 4.4
http://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-4.4/porting_to.html

and the error states that you do not have libusb INSTALLED

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lusb

the repos for fedora 9 may have been moved to the historical archives so yum might need to be reconfigured BY HAND

Code:

yum search libusb 
yum install libusb-devel

Would u be kind enough to explain what u did to get it compiled ? It would be helpfull to others in future !

Ok sure.
Well, as per mentioned by Mr. John VV, the main problem was the lack of libusb
As he directed I install the library and get compiled.

Now trying to understand the porting details.

Thank you

the dead and unsupported fedora 9 did not have gcc4.4
it had 4.3

all OLD code that was wrote ( 90% of it anyway) for gcc4.0 , or the older gcc3.4, will need porting
in MOST cases it means adding #include <?????> statements for the now not auto added library's
