Stlink: Ubuntu 18.04 Installation

[timdadd]

Hi there,

Just trying to compile this on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS with GCC 4:7.3.0-3ubuntu2, libusb-dev 2:0.1.12-31) & cmake 3.10.2-1ubuntu2.

I simply did a git clone, followed by a make release. This didn't work so I tried make clean then make release.
The CMakeError.log file shows that the '-Wshorten-64-to-32' option is unrecognised

Performing C SOURCE FILE Test C_SUPPORTS_WSHORTEN_64_TO_32 failed with the following output:

OK I solved this problem. Basically don't use:
sudo apt-get install libusb-dev
Instead use:
sudo apt-get install libusb-1.0-0-dev

From a clean ubuntu build here's what I did

#Install USB library
sudo apt-get install libusb-1.0-0-dev
#install cmake to compile and build using MakeFile
sudo apt-get install cmake
#download this great repository :-)
git clone https://github.com/texane/stlink
cd stlink
#start on a clean page
make clean
#make and make release are the same, Release made in build/Release
make
#install the Release binaries, symbolic links etc.
cd build/Release
sudo make install
#refresh the cache for the updated links
sudo ldconfig
#check that you can see the device
