Export libusb_error_name and libusb_strerror

Opened this issue 10 years ago · 3 comments

Hi,

recent libusb has functions to get the names for the errors:

http://libusb.sourceforge.net/api-1.0/group__misc.html#gab2323aa0f04bc22038e7e1740b2f29ef

http://libusb.sourceforge.net/api-1.0/group__misc.html#gacf319b823a1a1a25cc934d80db2f28c7
http://libusb.sourceforge.net/api-1.0/group__misc.html#gab977153d03d867a8b228a5921edaf457

Could you add these functions to the Perl module.
Thanks
Philipp

Unfortunately, Device::USB only supports the old libusb 0.14 version.
These methods were not present in the older version.

At some point Device::USB needs a complete rewrite to support libusb 1.0.

Right. Any ideas if there is any progress on Device::USB and libusb 1.0 ? Any alternatives in Perl to use libusb 1.0 ?

I don't know of any alternatives that use libusb 1.0.

Since I haven't done any USB work in a few years, I haven't really taken the time to upgrade the module. I've offered to help anyone who wants to adopt the module, but there have not been any takers so far.
