libusb-1.0 not found about node-usb HOT 7 CLOSED

Does pkg-config --libs libusb or pkg-config --libs usb work?

from node-usb.

Neither of those commands runs when executed in the node-usb directory. I had to brew install pkg-config just to try them.

The messages I get for each command are, in turn:

geuiss-Mac-Pro:nodeusb geuis$ pkg-config --libs libusb
Package libusb was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `libusb.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'libusb' found

geuiss-Mac-Pro:nodeusb geuis$ pkg-config --libs usb
Package usb was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `usb.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'usb' found

from node-usb.

Ok, does pkg-config --libs libusb-1.0 now work? The error above occured 'cause you did not have installed pkg-config...

from node-usb.

Since the time earlier that I filed the issue, I reinstalled libusb via homebrew, hence the path in this message:

-L/usr/local/Cellar/libusb/1.0.8/lib -lusb-1.0

from node-usb.

Aww... that seems to be correct.

from node-usb.

That seems to have fixed this particular issue. It might be useful to add a check for pkg-config to the build process as a requirement.
