Support for JLINK in 0.8.0 requires small patch

[deleted1234]

See here:

I was using 0.7.0 via apt, but having no luck with an IAR Systems J-Link USB adapter, decided to build from source myself.

Using the 0.8.0 source, with the modification in the post above, I compiled a working version of openocd that doesn't fail when using the above adapter.

It's unfortunate that this patch isn't in the official openocd repos, but I wanted to point it out in case any maintainers want to fix the bug.

The post you linked is sent from review tool where patches go into the official repo.

My mistake then. I used the source forge repo, which must be outdated.

The fix is most definitely in the SF repo:

http://sourceforge.net/p/openocd/code/ci/96549bf0121a7cff08885ddca22ab7a1c362ea24/

You may want to check that you're using the correct URL, SF changed it a few years back and unfortunately the old one is still available but frozen. The correct one is:

http://git.code.sf.net/p/openocd/code

By the way, the patch only helps in the odd case where libusb-1.0 is unavailable so libusb-0.1 is used instead. This is not a recommended configuration, since adapter drivers that only work with libusb-1.0 API will not be built.

I recommend to install libusb-1.0-0-dev before the configure step, then the patch won't be needed.

[Tormod Volden (tormodvolden)]

The Debian package build-depends on libusb-1.0-0-dev so the patch should not be an issue here.

Johnny, does the 0.8.0-1 in the repos work fine for you?
