The above is a good idea. The "libusb" that we've been hacking on is the libusb that gPhoto/gPhoto2 along with "s10sh" are using to give themselves user-land access to cameras. It was previously a "Linux-only" library (meaning USB support for cameras under these s/w programs was left in the dust and you were left with RS-232 only). Now, this has changed thanks to Richard's hacking. There's still more to do on it, but we can at least read from cameras at this point (which tickles me :). The "port" of this library (when I get it done) will definitely install under /usr/local (or whatever PREFIX is). As long as gPhoto and others use the installed libusb-config script during their configure ops, we shouldn't have problems linking to the wrong library: whale [~]<77>% libusb-config --libs -L/usr/local/lib -lusb -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
