编译libgphoto2时出现问题

Question

I am trying to get the latest version of libgphoto2 (2.5.12) and gphoto2 (2.5.11) to work on Debian Jessie. I downloaded and extracted the source files from git and followed the install instructions:

autoreconf --install --symlink
./configure --prefix=/usr/local

Configure worked without any major issues. The only thing I noticed is that it mentions "libusb-1.0 no" but "libusb yes". I tried reinstalling libusb-1.0-0(-dev), but no change.

The following is an excerpt of the make output:

make[4]: Entering directory '/home/max/Downloads/libgphoto2-2.5.12/libgphoto2_port'
/bin/bash ./libtool  --tag=CC   --mode=link gcc  -g -O2 -Wall -Wmissing-declarations -Wmissing-prototypes -module -no-undefined -avoid-version -export-dynamic -export-symbols ./iolib.sym -rpath '/usr/local/lib/libgphoto2_port/0.12.0'  -o usb1.la  libusb1/usb1_la-libusb1.lo ./libgphoto2_port/libgphoto2_port.la -L/usr/local/lib -lusb-1.0   -lpthread

...and make stops. I simply don't know what to do as "-fPIC" is mentioned in the gcc options.

If I can give you further information, please let me know.

I solved this problem by manually compiling and installing a new version of libusb1. Download it from here , then just configure, make and install as described in the instructions. At least for me it worked.
