I have downloaded libusb-1.0.19 from https://github.com/libusb/libusb. I want to compile library, in the install file, compilation process is explained:

`cd' to the directory containing the package's source code and type
`./configure' to configure the package for your system.

However, when I cd the containing the package's source code and type ./configure it gives this error:

No such file or directory
There is only configure.ac in the directory. When I type ./configure.ac, it also gives an error.

How can I create Makefile in order to compile and create .so file of the libusb-1.0.19? Thank you.

Welcome to LQ.

Why don't you install a "libusb package" for your OS ?
... Which OS are you using ? ?
* May be you are just missing libusb**-dev ?

* No ``Linux OS´´ comes without a libusb :
$ ls /usr/lib*/libusb*


About https://github.com/libusb/libusb :
$ ./autogen.sh
.... But please don't install it,
may conflict with / destroy the current installed libusb*

I'm using Windows 7. I'll use the libusb library in another project. When I compiled that project it gives that error:

lib/libcyusb.c:20:32: fatal error: /libusb-1.0/libusb.h: No such file or directory
#include </libusb-1.0/libusb.h>

That's why I try to compile libusb-1.0.19. How can I add libusb library to my project in Netbeans?

In the project's README:
"Pre-requisites:
1. libusb-1.0.x is required for compilation and functioning of the API
library."

Run its bootstrap.sh script first:

I ran it, it gives:
libtoolize or glibtoolize was not found! Please install libtool.

You will have to install the package 'libtool'.

There is bootstrap.h file in libusb-1.0.19 folder?

Windows© 7 : Are you using Cygwin ?

Libtool, autoconf, automake for Cygwin :
https://www.sourceware.org/autobook/...obook_244.html

Yes I am using Cygwin64, there is a configure.ac file in libusb-1.0.19 folder however there isn't configure file. As far as I understand configure.ac will be used to create configure. However, in that link you provided:

A binary package of Autoconf for Cygwin version 1.1.1 is available from the CygUtils website(62).

When I click that website, the domain "http://cygutils.netpedia.net/V1.1/" is for sale. Where can I download binary version of autoconf tool?

I have downloaded and installed the autoconf. Then I type: "autoconf" in command line. My configure.ac gives these errors:
configure.ac:29: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE
If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow.
See the Autoconf documentation.
configure.ac:30: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_MAINTAINER_MODE
configure.ac:42: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_PROG_CC_C_O
configure.ac:190: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_CONDITIONAL

← #11 .

Why not use the default libusb-1.0.19 ?
http://cznic.dl.sourceforge.net/proj...1.0.19.tar.bz2
... The "configure" file is already present !


And : You cannot run autoconf directly in the
https://github.com/libusb/libusb version.
See post #2 : $ ./autogen.sh

I.e. './autogen.sh' will do something like :
$ libtoolize && aclocal && autoheader && automake --add-missing && autoconf

Thank you, I have downloaded http://cznic.dl.sourceforge.net/proj...1.0.19.tar.bz2 and configure it succesfully. After configuration, I type make command and it gives those errors:

Have you looked into { Google .. undefined reference to `_snprintf' .. }
https://www.google.com/webhp?hl=all&...60_snprintf%27

May be there's a solution here
