Problem make'ing Device::USB on osx Snow Leopard 10.6.2

[nick.fox]

Hi all

I have been trying to install Device:USB. I can do it fine on ubuntu in a virtual environment but 10.6 seems to compile differently.

Could someone point me in the right direction?

This is the make error...

That doesn't look like Device::USB

[nick.fox]

You are indeed correct, i copied from the wrong terminal. the following is the correct make error from Device::USB. sorry about that.

Also, Just to elaborate a little, when building Device::USB on ubuntu 9.10 it requires libusb v0.1.12 LEGACY. it seems that Device::USB requires the usb.h C header which is either not present in the latest version of libusb or has a different name.

im starting to think my problems are more to do with this dependency than Device::USB itself.

[Corion]

I think you are correct, because this:

Note (probably harmless): No library found for -lusb

indicates that libusb was not found at all.

[broomduster]

...requires the usb.h C header which is either not present in the latest version of libusb or has a different name.

Actually, it looks as if you have multiple versions of usb.h (hence, multiple installs of libusb) that are being detected. Look carefully through the output you posted and you see lots of things like this:

USB.xs:16: error: conflicting types for ‘libusb_init’
/opt/local/include/libusb-1.0/usb.h:768: error: previous declaration o
+f ‘libusb_init’ was here

Now you just need to find the competing version, but I don't see anything in your posted output to help solve that problem.

Update: I looked right past the point Corion mentions, so obviously I don't have the full story. You may need to tweak some settings in Makefile.PL to properly detect the one version of libusb that you want to use.

Update 2: It looks like you are using MacPorts to supply libusb. Since MacPorts has multiple versions available, I'm betting that you have both the "stable" and the "legacy" versions installed, which is why usb.h is found more than once. I don't use MacPorts, so I can't offer any advice about what's the best way out of this, but I do think you need to tell Makefile.PL where to find what it's looking for.
