Tried adding this to ebuild: src_compile() { econf --with-libusb-libraries=/usr/lib64/ || die "Error econf failed!" } but same result. Noticed libusb has a libusb-config program, but don't know how to use with ebuild.
what version of liusb do u have installed? it compiles ok with 0.1.8 on my system.
The ebuild continues and compiles fine. I'ts the configuration that doesn't recognize the libusb library location. (I'm using libusb-0.1.8 also) Are you on a 64 bit system also?
yep, it works without any problem. i also asked another dev to tried and it also compiled fine. try to reemerge libusb. either 0.1.8 or 0.1.10a a see if it solved the problem.
Initial rebuild of libusb and then logitech_applet didn't change result. But now latest try finds libusb. Maybe recent addition of several amd64 packages and updating paths and environmental variables fixed the problem and it was only specific to my system. Please mark fixed.
