• brew install libusb-compat

Simple install procedure for Unix/Linux/MAC
===========================================

  % tar -xzf dfu-programmer-<version>.tar.gz    # unpack the sources
            -- or --
  % git clone https://github.com/dfu-programmer/dfu-programmer.git

  % cd dfu-programmer       # change to the top-level directory

  [ If the source was checked-out from GitHub, run the following command.
    You may also need to do this if your libusb is in a non-standard location,
    or if the build fails to find it for some reason.  This command requires
    that autoconf is installed (sudo apt-get install autoconf) ]

  % ./bootstrap.sh          # regenerate base config files
(returns: configure.ac:14: installing 'm4/compile’)

  [ Optionally you can add autocompletion using the dfu_completion file,
    and possibly instructions provided after running the ./bootstrap command ]

  % ./configure             # regenerate configure and run it

  [ Optionally you can specify where dfu-programmer gets installed
    using the --prefix= option to the ./configure command.  See
    % ./configure --help for more details. ]

  [ By default the build process will use libusb-1.0 if available.
    It tries to auto-discover the library, falling back to the older
    libusb if libusb-1.0 is not available. This process is not entirely
    reliable and may decide that libusb-1.0 is available when in fact
    it is not. You can select libusb using --disable-libusb_1_0. If
    usb library is not available try getting libusb-1.0-0-dev ]
