I downloaded: http:// people. freedesktop. org/~hadess/ libfprint- 0.3.0.tar. bz2 I uncompressed it
I installed all dependencies required for compilation
libnss3-dev, libusb-1.0-0-dev and more (i do not remember)
applied the second patch: 0.3.0-vfs101. v5.patch
$ patch -p1 < ../libfprint-
then
$ autoreconf && ./configure && make
install
$ sudo make install
at the end I copy libfprint. * /usr/lib32/ lib/libfprint. * /usr/lib/
$ sudo cp /usr/lib/
and
$ sudo cp /usr/local/
start fprint_demo as root
$ sudo fprint_demo
