Description Alex Cobb 2011-06-15 14:21:40 UTC
Description of problem:
libusb-config is missing from libusb-devel. Perhaps this was a deliberate choice? As far as I understand, all the same relevant information can be obtained with pkg-config, but some other packages use libusb-config at the configuration stage, e.g., gpsbabel (see Additional info, below).

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
libusb-0.1.3-7.fc15.src.rpm

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. enter libusb-config at the command prompt
  
Actual results:
bash: libusb-config: command not found

Expected results:
libusb-config can be used to obtain linking information and flags for libusb

Additional info:
# rpm -ql libusb-devel | grep config
/usr/lib64/pkgconfig/libusb.pc

As far as I can tell, libusb-config is not available in any package available in standard repositories for Fedora 15:
yum provides */libusb-config
...
No Matches found

I found this issue when trying to use gpsbabel with a USB device.  Under Fedora 14 this worked, but under Fedora 15 I get:
USB support is not available in this build.
(gpsbabel-1.4.2-5.fc15.src.rpm)
When configuring gpsbabel 1.4.2 from source, detection of libusb fails (although ./configure succeeds) because of the absence of libusb-config:
checking for libusb... checking for libusb-config... false

I just wanted to report the same issue. This is a regression.

Comment 2 Felix Möller 2011-06-20 20:50:02 UTC
This has been introduced with:
http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/gitweb/?p=libusb.git;a=commitdiff;h=a82f37afdf2bca8db2312e1612a63a7edd0d4176

adding libusb-config back to the package allows me to rebuild the gpsbabel rpm with usb support.

Comment 3 Felix Möller 2011-06-20 22:12:16 UTC
I just wrote a mail to Hans Ulrich Niedermann who seems to be maintaining gpsbabel, which is rendered useless to me by this issue.

@Jan could you rebuilt gpsbable which was broken by this?

Comment 9 Jan Vcelak 2011-06-22 09:06:25 UTC
@Felix, I don't have permissions to do that. I created separate bug 715220 on gpsbabel, you were added to CC. I suppose the maintainers will react soon.

libusb-config works again after updating with libusb-0.1.3-9.fc15.  Fixed for me. Thanks!

libusb-0.1.3-9.fc15 has been pushed to the Fedora 15 stable repository.  If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report.
