Re: [Qemu-devel] [Bug 1320360] [NEW] usb passthrough not working anymore

[Gonglei (Arei)]

Hi,
 
From qemu-1.7 release version, the old usb-host(host-linux.c) had been removed, 
re-implemented by libusbx. So you should build qemu with --enable-libusb, then
you can use usb pass-through capacity.

BTW, Gerd, should we enable libusb by default now? Thanks.


Best regards,
-Gonglei
