[libhid-discuss] USB libhid is writing to PIC but errors out reading from it.

[Daniel Yount]

Ok could not compile Qt4.7 packages because of the  Debian 6.0 stable distro,
it seems compiling for the Microchip HIDAPI needed some newer libuuid functions
.so I changed my /etc/apt/sources.list distro setting for source downloads to testing instead of stable

deb-src http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ testing main contrib non-free

updated my apt repo :

apt-get update 


downloaded the source for util-linux which contains the libuuid

apt-get source util-linux

uncompressed the tarball ,recompiled and installed and qtcreator compiled fine..
http://qt.nokia.com/downloads


Next will be to see if the compiled bootloader actually works now. Thanks for the help.

If you download the latest Microchip USB stack, there is an HIDAPI
based cross-platform HID bootloader, you may want to try that one,
it works for me whereas mphidflash did not seem to work for me
(PIC18F87J50 USB PIM) last time I tried it.
