Cannot compile on ubuntu 13.10

[tetherit]

I have the libusb-dev package installed:

ii  libusb-0.1-4:i386                   2:0.1.12-23.2ubuntu1             i386         userspace USB programming library

ii  libusb-1.0-doc                      2:1.0.16-3                       all          documentation for userspace USB programming

However when I try to compile, I get this:

Any ideas?

I would suggest updating usb-modeswitch from http://www.draisberghof.de/usb_modeswitch/ - but just the binary code since you'll need the custom database (usb-modeswitch-data) to make it work with sakis3g. Just put it in the dependencies folder after you've extracted it and compile.

I'll update everything as soon as I'm back on Linux (which will be within this month). So stay tuned.

[tetherit]

Updating usb-modeswitch is indeed a working workaround :) - Would be great if you could update it in the repo though.

[Trixarian]

True. This problem should pop up in other new distros since usb_modeswitch has fully moved over to libusb 1.0 while I'm still using the one that supports the older libusb. I just need to get my ass in gear and compile my own distro with Buildroot already...

Mind you, you could probably fork and push the change if you want to save others the effort ;)

[Trixarian]

Should compile fine on Ubuntu now - Enjoy!

I am also trying to compile sakis3g, but on a Raspberry Pi. I have installed libusb-dev, usb-modeswitch, and ppp. I only get one error - "libusb.h: No such file or directory" - apparently when compiling usb-modeswitch. What am I missing? I appreciate your help.

[Trixarian]

With some Linuxes the default route to libusb.h isn't where it should be. That's why I added the instrunctions to make it work to the readme file. Just fix the route using one of the following:
Change #include <libusb.h> in dependencies/usb-modeswitch/usb_modeswitch.h to #include <libusb-1.0/libusb.h>
or
sudo cp /usr/include/libusb-1.0/libusb.h /usr/include
or
sudo ln -s /usr/include/libusb-1.0/libusb.h /usr/include/libusb.h

Also make sure you have libusb-1.0-0 and libusb-1.0-0-dev packages installed and not the older libusb packages. It should compile once that's been done.
