Failing to enable stlink in openOCD

Question

I am trying to enable stlink by configuring openOCD. It is saying it cannot find my libusb-1.x file even though it is installed by virtue of installing openOCD as it is a dependency. I am not sure what to do

Here is the error:

checking for LIBUSB1... no
configure: WARNING: libusb-1.x not found, trying legacy libusb-0.1 as        
a fallback; consider installing libusb-1.x instead
checking for LIBUSB0... no
checking for HIDAPI... no
checking for HIDAPI... no
checking for HIDAPI... no
checking for LIBFTDI... no
checking for LIBFTDI... no
checking for LIBJAYLINK... no
configure: error: libusb-1.x is required for the ST-Link JTAG Programmer

This is my input:

./configure --enable-stlink

What can I do to fix this?

Thank you

You can try to install libusb via

sudo apt-get install libusb-1.0-0-dev

In my case I have to install pkg-config, which suddenly was not installed in my system. Then this error gone.

sudo apt install pkg-config

First, install the missing dependency, then configure openOCD while enabling the maintainer mode and FTDI support.

By doing this you will still be able to interface STM32 uCs with ST-Link and FTDI but you will lose JTAG support, but that's ok for non-hard-core stuff.

sudo apt-get install libusb-1.0.0-dev
./configure --enable-maintainer-mode --enable-ftdi
