Introduction to libgusb

The libgusb package contains the GObject wrappers for libusb-1.0 that makes it easy to do asynchronous control, bulk and interrupt transfers with proper cancellation and integration into a mainloop.

[Note]

Note

Development versions of BLFS may not build or run some packages properly if LFS or dependencies have been updated since the most recent stable versions of the books.

Installation of libgusb

Install libgusb by running the following commands:

mkdir build &&
cd    build &&

meson setup ..            \
      --prefix=/usr       \
      --buildtype=release \
      -Ddocs=false        &&
ninja

If you have Gi-DocGen-2023.3 installed and wish to build the API documentation for this package, issue:

sed -E "/output|install_dir/s/('libgusb)'/\1-0.4.8'/" \
    -i ../docs/meson.build                            &&
meson configure -Ddocs=true                           &&
ninja

To test the results, issue: ninja test.

Now, as the root user:

ninja install

Command Explanations

--buildtype=release: Specify a buildtype suitable for stable releases of the package, as the default may produce unoptimized binaries.

-Ddocs=false: Allow building this package without Gi-DocGen-2023.3 installed. If you have Gi-DocGen-2023.3 installed and you wish to rebuild and install the API documentation, a meson configure command will reset this option.
