I am trying to compile a small application that requires libusb on an

usb.h.
My suspicions are that I need libusb-dev installed but I don't see
that as an available package for Angstrom.
What are my options at this point? Cross compile on a host or am I
not looking in the right place for the usb.h file?
The libusb situation isn't that easy :-D
There are three recipes which could provide you with a usable header:
libusb which creates a libusb-0.1-dev package
libusb-compat which creates the same package but depends on libusb1
libusb1 creates a libusb-1.0-dev package
As you seem to use legacy API (see http://www.libusb.org/) libusb or
libusb-compat are your options. Your distro should have made the
selection for you, there is a virtual for this selection:
bitbake virtual/libusb0

PS: if anyone is trying libusb with big-endian machines, port to libusb1.
libusb-0.1 has endian-problems.
