General Information
===================
This is libusb version 0.1.12. libusb is a library which allows
userspace application access to USB devices.
The official ftp site is:
ftp://ftp.libusb.sourceforge.net/pub/libusb/
The official web site is:
http://libusb.sourceforge.net/
A mailing list is located at:
libusb-devel@lists.sourceforge.net
Installation
============
See the file 'INSTALL'
How to report bugs
==================
To report a bug, visit http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/libusb/ and fill
out a bug report form.
Please make sure to include:
* The version of libusb
* Information about your system. For instance:
- What operating system and version
- For Linux, what version of the C library
And anything else you think is relevant.
* How to reproduce the bug.
If you can reproduce it with the testlibusb program that is built
in the libusb/ directory, that will be most convenient. Otherwise,
please include a short test program that exhibits the behavior.
As a last resort, you can also provide a pointer to a larger piece
of software that can be downloaded.
* If the bug was a crash, the exact text that was printed out
when the crash occured.
* Further information such as stack traces may be useful, but
is not necessary.
Patches
=======
Patches can be sent to libusb-devel@lists.sourceforge.net.
If the patch fixes a bug, it is usually a good idea to include
all the information described in "How to Report Bugs".
Building
========
It should be as simple as running these two commands:
./configure
make
One common problem is building the SGML documentation. On some systems,
like SuSE, you will need to set the SGML_CATALOG_FILES environment
variable to something similar to this (actual paths may vary):
export SGML_CATALOG_FILES="/usr/share/sgml/CATALOG.docbook_3:/usr/share/sgml/CATALOG.docbook-dsssl-stylesheets:/usr/share/sgml/openjade/catalog"
On recent versions of Fedora Core (FC5 Test 2 atleast), this command may be
needed:
export SGML_CATALOG_FILES="/etc/sgml/catalog"
or possibly:
export SGML_CATALOG_FILES="/etc/sgml/docbook"
C++ Support
===========
There are reasonable unit tests available - run "make check" to do the
tests. Note that some of the tests will unexpectedly pass if you don't have
a specfic type of Logitech mouse connected, and some are expected to fail
unless you are running as root (or otherwise have permissions to access the
device).
Building the C++ documentation requires Doxygen
(http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/)
