Hi,

I am trying to use the usblib for the TS7400. I followed this
instructions but I could not make this example work .

I had no problem until step 7), so I think the problem is in step 8)
or 9).

Could somebody tell me how do I have to cross compile the sample program?

Thanks in advance,

Pablo

It worked.

They worked until I typed in the make command.

I had downloaded the Linux Crosstool gcc-3.3.4-glibc-2.3.2 -- 0.28rc39
(11-3-2004) from the website.

Send me an e-mail if you want the source.
