usbutils
This is a collection of USB tools for use on Linux and BSD systems to query what type of USB devices are connected to the system. This is to be run on a USB host (i.e. a machine you plug USB devices into), not on a USB device (i.e. a device you plug into a USB host.)
Building and installing
Note, usbutils depends on libusb, be sure that library is properly installed first.
To work with the "raw" repo, after cloning it just do:
./autogen.sh
Or if you like doing things "by hand" you can try the following:
Get the usbhid-dump git submodule:
git submodule init
git submodule update
Initialize autobuild with:
autoreconf --install --symlink
Configure the project with:
./configure
Build everything with:
make
Install it, if you really want to, with:
make install
