[hpoj-devel] hpoj-0.91

[Meinolf G. <ge...@ig...>]

Hello,
this is to report a problem with the installation of hpoj-0.91
on my mandrake 9.1 (I wanted to install this in order to get
my new HP PSC 1210 running).

When running 'make' in the hpoj-0.91 directory, the following command
caused many error messages:

g++ -lusb -o ptal-mlcd ExMgr.o ParPort.o transport/ExTransport.o
transport/ExMlcTransport.o transport/ExMlcCommandChannel.o

A friend of mine (who knows Linux much better than me) told me
to run this command alone on the command line with an extra -lusb
added to it, and then it worked ! I then ran once more 'make'
followed by 'make install', and everything is fine now.

Sincerely yours, Meinolf Geck
