[hpoj-devel] libusb 0.1.8 problems

[Paul <duf...@du...>]

I've been trying off and on to get hpoj to compile with libusb version
0.1.8 for a while with no success until today. It was always giving me
errors when trying to link ExMgr.cpp. Libusb version 0.1.7 would work
without problem, but 0.1.8 didn't. I figure out it's because the install
of libusb doesn't put the .so extension on the shared objects it
installs! I sent them a bug report [0] to notify them of this.=20

This was a big problem for me, since the linux kernel removed the
scanner module, causing sane to need libusb, but it seemed to need
version 0.1.8 of the library. Oddly enough, sane-backends compiled fine
with the .so extension missing...=20

Anyways, hopefuly someone else will find this helpful. I seem to recall
a few other messages on this list about libusb problems.
