Instructions for using libftdi:

MANDRIVA
--------

0. Dependencies (already available for Mandriva):
	libusb (version 0.14), libusb-devel, libconfuse0, libconfuse-devel

1. Download libftdi and ftdi_eeprom tarballs:  (using 0.18 and 0.3 respectively)
	http://www.intra2net.com/en/developer/libftdi/download.php

3. Compile and install libftdi first:
	./configure && make && sudo make install
	
4. To make sure that we can link against it when building ftdi245io, the easiest way is just to copy
   everything from /usr/local/lib/ into /usr/lib. (there's probably a better way, but this just works). To do this:
	cd /usr/lib; sudo ln -s /usr/local/lib/libftdi.* . ; cd -
	cd /usr/lib/pkgconfig; sudo ln -s /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/libftdi.pc . ; cd -

5. Now repeat for ftdi_eeprom:

UBUNTU
------

apt-get install libftdi1 libftdi-dev libconfuse0 libconfuse-dev ftdi-eeprom
ln -s /usr/lib/libftdi.so.1 /usr/lib/libftdi.so


NOTES
-----

On newer systems, where libusb-1.0 is available, use the git repository:
	http://www.intra2net.com/en/developer/libftdi/repository.php
	git clone git://developer.intra2net.com/libftdi
	cmake .

WARNING: ftdi_eeprom version 0.3 should not be used to program the FTDI232R device; it creates an invalid configuration.
(the git tree version is fine).
