YUSB is a Yorick plug-in to implement USB control into Yorick.
Prior to installation, make sure you have USB library installed on your system with development files. For instance, on a Debian (or Ubuntu) based system:
sudo apt-get install libusb-1.0-0-dev
In short, building and installing the plug-in can be as quick as:
cd $BUILD_DIR
$SRC_DIR/configure
make
make install
where $BUILD_DIR
is the build directory (at your convenience) and
$SRC_DIR
is the source directory of the plug-in code. The build and
source directories can be the same in which case, call ./configure
to
configure for building.
If the plug-in has been properly installed, it is sufficient to use any of its function to automatically load the plug-in. You may force the loading of the plug-in by something like:
#include "usb.i"
or
require, "usb.i";
in your code.
More detailled installation explanations are given below.
-
You must have Yorick and the USB library (libusb-1.0) installed on your machine. (See the "Links" section below.)
-
Unpack the plug-in code somewhere.
-
Configure for compilation. There are two possibilities:
For an in-place build, go to the source directory, say
$SRC_DIR
, of the plug-in code and run the configuration script:cd $SRC_DIR ./configure
To see the configuration options, type:
./configure --help
To compile in a different build directory, say
$BUILD_DIR
, create the build directory, go to the build directory and run the configuration script:mkdir -p $BUILD_DIR cd $BUILD_DIR $SRC_DIR/configure
where
$SRC_DIR
is the path to the source directory of the plug-in code. To see the configuration options, type:$SRC_DIR/configure --help
-
Compile the code:
make
-
Install the plug-in in Yorick directories:
make install
