The documentation is not up to date. flashrom requires libusb now at build time because of the inclusion of a libusb-based programmer. You can turn it off (and thus enable compilation without libusb) by adding CONFIG_PICKIT2_SPI=no to the command line (for now). I am only cross-compiling flashrom for windows so I am not sure if that helps you, but there I am using the newly introduced LIBS_BASE make parameter to indicate the path containing the include and lib directories with the respective header and library files like so: make LIBS_BASE=/home/flashrom/cross-libs/i686-w64-mingw32 The layout within that directory should look like the common unix layout, i.e. /lib containing *.a, /bin with *.dll and /include with *.h files. The PKG_CONFIG_PATH message can be ignored usually. The default will probably work anyway. -- Kind regards/Mit freundlichen Grüßen, Stefan Tauner _______________________________________________ flashrom mailing list [email protected] http://www.flashrom.org/mailman/listinfo/flashrom
