[hublolo]

Hi,

I've deleted my TP bootie.... So i tried the : Last Resort Emergency BootLoader Recovery but i cannot compile the omap3_usb file... when I type 'make' i got this answer :

Anyone come up with a solution for this?

This worked fine under Ubuntu 11.04, but seems to be broken under 11.10.

I've tried manually specifying the location of libusb.so in the makefile. I even tried compiling and installing a libusb-compat-0.1.3 library, but I still can't seem to get the linker to recognize the usb functions that are referenced.

Arrgh. Frustrating.

Hey, I found the solution, in case anyone else has this issue. The Makefile uses a command line order that does not work with newer versions of gcc. As I understand it, the source file now has to come before the output object. So, with that in mind, this gcc statement worked for me under Ubuntu 11.10:

gcc -Wall omap3_usbload.c -lusb -o omap3_usbload

Thanks! It worked for me!
but now I can't get the program to run.. have you managed to do this?
