libusb - configure error (libudev not installed)

Question

I'm trying to cross-compile the libusb v1.0.19 library using the arm-verifone-linux-gnueabi-gcc compiler in Cygwin , but at the end of the configure call it shows this error:

udev support requested but libudev not installed.

Here is my configure call:

./configure CC=arm-verifone-linux-gnueabi-gcc --host=arm-linux


checking operating system... Linux
checking for library containing clock_gettime... -lrt
checking libudev.h usability... no
checking libudev.h presence... no
checking for libudev.h... no
configure: error: "udev support requested but libudev not installed"
configure: WARNING: cache variable lt_cv_path_LD contains a newline

The error clearly says that libudev is not available on my setup, so I tried to google for the libudev source, so I can cross-compile it as well, but unfortunately I couldn't find the source. Where can I find the libudev source or how I can get around this error?

---

UPDATE: I was able to get rid of the "udev" error by running this configure line:

./configure CC=arm-verifone-linux-gnueabi-gcc --host=arm-linux --disable-udev

But after running "make", it shows:

checking that generated files are newer than configure... done

How do I fix this?
