  Generic installation instructions

=====================================

- Install libusb

Check your current installation. Most Linux distributives already have

libusb installed. Use your distributive specific tools

to check whether libusb package is installed.

To install libusb from source visit the official libusb web site:

http://libusb.sourceforge.net/.

Download latest libusb release (libusb-x.y.z.tar.gz file),

compile it and install (see example bellow).

Example:

% tar -zxvf libusb-x.y.z.tar.gz

% cd libusb-x.y.z

% ./configure

% make

% make install

Note the last command may require user to have root rights.

By default libusb is installed into /usr/local directory.

For additional details see INSTALL file and configure --help.

- Build fw_update

% tar -zxvf fw_update-x.y.z.tar.gz

% cd fw_update-x.y.z

% ./configure

% make 

% make install

Note the last command may require user to have root rights.

By default the fw_update program is installed into /usr/local/bin.

Use configure --prefix option to override the default.

For more details see INSTALL file and configure --help.

In case libusb installation directory differs from /usr/local, you

can specify the path to libusb installation directory using

% configure --with-usb=/path/to/libusb/dir

or using

% configure --with-usb-lib=/path/to/directory/contains/libusb/libraries

% configure --with-usb-includes=/path/to/directory/contains/libusb/includes
