Hi,

I've written a custom program based on libusb. It works fine on my laptop (running gentoo linux), but my goal is to make it work on my asus wl-500g Deluxe.

I'm trying to cross-compile it, but  it doesn't work, because i'm not that good at cross-compiling and writing Makefiles. I'm learning...

The compile line in my Makefile looks like:

readusb: usb2.c
       $(COMPILE_PATH)mipsel-linux-uclibc-gcc -I $(LIB_PATH) -I $(INCLUDE_PATH) -O2 -Wall -o readusb usb2.c -L$(LIB_PATH) -lusb

where :
INCLUDE_PATH   is   [...]/openwrt/staging_dir_mipsel/include/
LIB_PATH  is   [...]/openwrt/build_mipsel/libusb-0.1.10a/

I did this because my program includes <usb.h> which is in LIB_PATH, and {<time.h>, <stdio.h>, ...}, which are in the standard include path.

I'm getting the error (edited after farnz's reply):

[...]/openwrt/staging_dir_mipsel/lib/gcc/mipsel-linux-uclibc/3.4.4/../../../../mipsel-linux-uclibc/bin/ld : cannot find -lusb

Could you please point me out what i am doing wrong?
Thanks!

The error does not match up to the line in the makefile; it looks like you've put -lsub instead of -lusb.

Ooops, sorry... i guess i typed it too fast when posting the error.

But, anyway, the error is "cannot find -lusb".

So there is something wrong with the inclusion of the library.

Ok, i found the error.

It has to be [...]/openwrt/staging_dir_mipsel/usr/lib

Also, -L has to be followed by a white space... while -l not.
