Installing libusb-1 and libudev to get openni to compile on Fedora

Question

I have just changed to Fedora 20 and I am trying to get used to it and to learn it. Before I have only worked with ubuntu so there are some new things for me. I have tried to compile openni_master by downloading the package from git. The first step is to enter ``` /OpenNi_Master/Platform/Linux/CreateDist/ ``` ans to run sudo ./RedistMaker . When I do that I get the following: ``` fatal error: libusb-1.0/libusb.h: No such file or directory. ``` So I tried running ``` sudo yum install libgusb.x86_64. ``` Running locate libgusb gives the .so files ``` /usr/lib64/libgusb.so.2 /usr/lib64/libgusb.so.2.0.3 ``` but no libusb-1.0.h. So I tried downloading the package libusb-1.0.18 from the web and compile it on my computer. But running ./configure in the folder gives ``` checking for libudev.h... no configure: error: "udev support requested but libudev not installed" ``` So I installed ``` libgudev1-devel.x86_64 ``` and ``` libgudev1.x86_64. ``` Probably I am installing the wrong packages, but…

Accepted Answer

In Fedora (and other distros using yum for package management), you can find out which package provides a certain file like so:

```
$ yum provides /path/to/my/file
```

If you only know a portion of the filename, you can use wildcards:

```
$ yum provides */myfile
```

So, what provides `libusb.h`?

```
$ yum provides */libusb.h
[...]
libusbx-devel-1.0.17-1.fc21.x86_64 : Development files for libusbx
Repo        : rawhide
Matched from:
Filename    : /usr/include/libusb-1.0/libusb.h
[...]
```

So you need to install `libusbx-devel`.
