hello all, Thanks to the efforts of richard@cogsci.ed.ac.uk and others, the user-land USB library "libusb" now works under FreeBSD (at leats in a beta capacity)! Right now the main developer is in the process of rolling release 0.1.2a. Until that happens you can get the latest sources via anon CVS. Visit http://sourceforge.net/cvs/?group_id=1674 to learn how. The steps to compiling the library from that point are: % ./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr/local % gmake Then you should be able to install it via "gmake install". I am currently working on a "port" for this to eventually go into ports/devel, but it's not ready for prime time yet. Early testers/users are certainly welcome to snatch the code via CVS (or when the 0.1.2a tarball is rolled) and play. Not *all* the functionality from the linux version has been ported over to the FreeBSD version--but enough has been done for me to successfully compile and link USB support into s10sh http://www.kyuzz.org/antirez/s10sh/ and download images from my Canon S10. Richard says he's gotten the gPhoto2 code to work with this version of libusb though I have not personally tested that yet. Comments, fixes, and patches welcome! Enjoy. I do!!! (no more painful RS-232 downloads from my camera!!!! :) -Jr -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= | John Reynolds WCCG, CCE, Higher Levels of Abstraction | | Intel Corporation MS: CH6-210 Phone: 480-554-9092 pgr: 602-868-6512 | | jreynold@sedona.ch.intel.com http://www-aec.ch.intel.com/~jreynold/ | =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message
