libudev error while configuring cgminer on fedora 22

Question

I am using Fedora 22, 32bit OS and have Antminer U3 for mining operations

got the cgminer source code from GIT: git clone https://github.com/bitmaintech/cgminer

while running ./configure --enable-icarus the command ends up in error as below

./configure: line 11972: -pthread: command not found
checking libudev.h usability... no
checking libudev.h presence... no
checking for libudev.h... no
configure: error: "udev support requested but libudev not installed"
configure: error: ./configure failed for compat/libusb-1.0

I tried using system libusb, but no success

./configure --enable-icarus --with-system-libusb

checking for pthread_create in -lpthread... yes
checking for library containing addstr... no
configure: WARNING: Could not find curses library - if you want a TUI, install libncurses-dev or pdcurses-dev
checking for pkg-config... /usr/bin/pkg-config
checking pkg-config is at least version 0.9.0... yes
checking for LIBUSB... no
configure: error: Could not find usb library - please install libusb-1.0

libusb is part of systemd package and my system has latest installed. checked from

sudo dnf upgrade systemd

command returned Nothing to do.

Could you please help where i could be going wrong in setting up CGMiner ?

PS: I tried bfgminer, but ended up in errors.

Answer 1

I was able to get cgminer to build the icarus extension on a fresh CentOS system like so:

yum install git
git clone https://github.com/bitmaintech/cgminer
cd cgminer/
yum install -y autoconf make automake gcc gcc-c++ kernel-devel libcurl libcurl-devel
yum install libudev-devel
./autogen.sh
./configure --enable-icarus
make
./cgminer

So I think you're missing the package libudev-devel. (It might be named something different on Fedora 22 - I don't know.)
