[avrdude-dev] [bug #36713] config assumes obsolete libusb API

[Joerg Wunsch]

Update of bug #36713 (project avrdude):

                  Status:                    None => Need Info

Follow-up Comment #1:

Well, not all supported platforms do offer a libusb-1.0 API. 
(The last one I've heard of was/is OpenSolaris.)

All known libusb-1.0 implementations also ship with a 0.1 
API compatibility wrapper.  As AVRDUDE doesn't need any of 
the newer 1.0 features, it is not in a real need to rewrite 
everything for the 1.0 API.

Meanwhile, parts of AVRDUDE actually use the 1.0 API (those 
parts will be disabled on systems that don't provide it), and 
the configuration status is clearly printed at the end:


Configuration summary:
----------------------
DO HAVE    libelf
DO HAVE    libusb
DO HAVE    libusb_1_0
DON'T HAVE libftdi1
DON'T HAVE libftdi
DON'T HAVE libhid
DO HAVE    pthread
DISABLED   doc
ENABLED    parport
DISABLED   linuxgpio


Why can't you use the 0.1 API wrapper in your case?
