Can't build with libusb. ‘_Atomic’ does not name a type

Question

I am attempting to use libusb for a project and my C++ is rusty. I think I've resolved the dependencies for libtool and libdev on my ubuntu box, but now when I run, I get the following error.

/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/10/include/stdatomic.h:40:9: error: ‘_Atomic’ does not name a type

I found How to include C11 headers when compiling C++ with GCC? , but not sure how this helps me.

The problem appears to be in gcc somehow, but not sure how to go about fixing it. I'm using C++ 20 in CLion.

Answer 1

I'm running on Ubuntu and I had tried

sudo apt install libusb

to no avail. On a hunch I tried

sudo apt install libusb-dev

And it worked, so now I don't need to build it.

I need to remember to search for the library name if it isn't obvious.
