First install MacPorts (and if you are on 10.6 or older, the Java Developer Package) and then run:
sudo port install libusb-devel git-core
sudo pkg_add -r git pkgconf
sudo apt-get build-dep dfu-util sudo apt-get install libusb-1.0-0-dev
The first time you will have to clone the git repository:
git clone git://gitorious.org/dfu-util/dfu-util.git cd dfu-util
If you later want to update to latest git version, just run this:
make maintainer-clean git pull
To build the source:
./autogen.sh ./configure # on most systems make
If you are building on Mac OS X, replace the ./configure command with:
./configure --libdir=/opt/local/lib --includedir=/opt/local/include # on MacOSX only
Your dfu-util binary will be inside the src folder. Use it from there, or install it to /usr/local/bin by running "sudo make install".
Windows binaries can be built in a MinGW environment, on a Windows computer or cross-hosted in another OS. To build it on a Ubuntu 12.04 host, first install build dependencies:
sudo apt-get build-dep libusb-1.0-0 dfu-util sudo apt-get install mingw32
The below example script builds dfu-util 0.6 and libusb 1.0.9 from release tarballs. If you instead build from git, you will have to run "./autogen.sh" before running the "./configure" steps.
#!/bin/sh
#
# The dfu-util binaries for Windows (win32) were built on Ubuntu 12.04
# using this build script.
#
# To install needed build dependencies run:
# sudo apt-get build-dep libusb-1.0-0 dfu-util
# sudo apt-get install mingw32
