libusbx >= 1.0 is needed by st-stlink-server-2.0.2-1.x86_64

[DiBosco]

Folks,

Am trying to install ST Cube on my Mageia 7 machine. I get the error:

Code: Select all

error: Failed dependencies:
        libusbx >= 1.0 is needed by st-stlink-server-2.0.2-1.x86_64

Googling around it looks like libusbx is just libusb now. I tried putting in a symbolic lin in /usr/lib and /usr/lib64 as follows:

Code: Select all

ln -s libusb-1.0.so libusbx-1.0.so

However, that doesn't help.

Is anyone able to help me sort this please?

That symlink is irrelevant to rpm - that package expects something to provide the facility libusbx >= 1.0. As nothing provides this facility, you have to install that package with urpmi --allow-nodeps and care manually about installing the necessary dependencies that are skipped that way.

OK, understood, thanks.

So, as that rpm is not in our repositories, the only possibility is to compile linusbx from source?

No. libusbx is obsoleted by libusb. Did you actually try to install your st-stlink-server with urpmi --allow-nodeps and what was the result, and does it start?
