I ust solved the problem by installing an additional version of libusb using apt-get.
Lets see if I get through the build.
Burning the Taranis Firmware under linux
Re: Burning the Taranis Firmware under linux
yes
normally when compiling if it complains about something missing you need the dev version of the package , which will provide the proper header and/or developement files
I am on
Ubuntu 13.04 \n \l
and think the appropriated command would be:

Re: Sv: Burning the Taranis Firmware under linux
It was the dev library that was the problem. Oddly enough I had a version installed, but that did not work.
Building and installing was uneventful.
Flashing was tricky. The udev rule companion installed does not work for me. No clue to why. Starting companion with gksudo did work, but only once. After that dfu-util never found the radio again. But I guess I will get it to work with some more effort.
I am a professional programmer and have used Linux on and off for many years. I like every aspect of the OS, with the exception of manually handling hardware drivers. That sucked badly 15 years ago and is still sucks.

you need libusb devel
Re: Burning the Taranis Firmware under linux
Can you help with a linux setup problem, I've installed the latest DFU packages and Libusb as mentioned above, I'm pretty sure that's taking care of, what I can't do is import the models from my Taranis or save the latest firmware anywhere.
This is on LinuxMint 15 KDE and the message is :could not start process Cannot talk to Klauncher: Not connect to D-Bus server.
I'm getting better a linux and I love it, but I'm not that good, any thoughts?

Re: Burning the Taranis Firmware under linux
problem solved:! apparently boot in eeprom mode before connecting. anyway. thinks got solved. still interested, read on.
taranis newbee on not so good at linux asking for some help.
I just got my x9e, and i'm trying to flash the firmware. now i understand that i can do this via the sd-card method but i would prefer to get my system and companion properly set up too.
i currently run 16.04 ubuntu.
i installed companion21, which runs..
installed dfu-util 0.9, configured (first time libusb error - > get apt lib-usb 001)
changed /usr/bin/dfu-util to /usr/local/bin/dfu-util withing companion
but i get an error message when trying to flash..
when lsusb i find the only 3 usb connections, that are also there when the taranis is not connected.
so it seems the taranis is not detected (recognized) via usb. tried a 2e mini usb cable but this didn't help.
i had it switched off, which i understand to be necessary for firmware flashing.
tried starting in boot loader as i saw to do with the x9d online (center the two horizontal trim buttons, while turning on. but then the on off switch doesn't respond (so no turning on, not normal, not bootloader)
so at this moment i'm a bit stuck on what to try next.
anyone here an idea?
