Description Kristoffer Grundström 2011-07-27 00:45:36 CEST 
Description of problem: I found a great program for flashing ROMs onto Samsung Galaxy S-devices. I have used git to get the latest code to compile it, but I couldn't build it completely so therefor I'm now asking for help in finishing it.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install git (if it's not already installed).
2. Open a Terminal-window.
3. As normal user choose a good dir to place Heimdall in before you compile it. I chose Desktop.
4. Do git clone git://github.com/Benjamin-Dobell/Heimdall.git & let it download everything.
5. cd to Heimdall/
6. Run ./configure
7. You'll probably fail because of libusb or a similar missing dep, install thoose & retry ./configure.
8. Do make.

Now comes the hard part. How to finish the build.

libusb-1.0 is included in libpit/ so you have to compile that as well before you build Heimdall.

I hope that there will be a way to blend in this dep.

Sorry........wrong of me.

You have to install libusb-devel or lib64usb-devel before building.

Then go to the libpit-dir & compile that.

Summary: I could use some help getting the Heimdall Flashing suite into Mageia-repo for testing if anyone feels interested. => Heimdall, a cross-platform suite used to flash firmware
