Recently I downloaded libmtp-0.3.0 and build it and I get the
following errors:

libusb-glue.c: In function `LIBMTP_Detect_Raw_Devices':

I could not figure out what is missing. As far as I can see, libmtp
depends on libusb: I have installed libusb 0.1.8-3 .

My system Fedora Core 3, Linux 2.6.23.12.

That's a pretty old version of Fedora, and so, an old version of
libusb. You'll probably have to get a newer version of it and
build that, as well (or build an older version of libmtp).

My Slamd64 system has libusb-0.1.12, and the usb_device struct
in /usr/include/usb.h contains 'u_int8_t devnum'. Your older
version of usb.h is probably missing that member.

I appeciate very much your suggestion: I updated my libusb-0.1.8 to
libusb-0.1.12 and then rebuild libmtp without anu error message. Now I
am going to test it.

Thanks again.

Regards,

Marco.
