---------------------

Ensure that you have the necessary packages to compile programs that use
libusb (on Debian or Ubuntu systems, you might need to do apt-get
install libusb-dev | on Arch systems, you might need to do sudo
pacman -S libusb-compact). After that, unpack and compile the source code
with:
libusb. Note that mspdebug depends on the libusb 0.1 API. If your distro
provides libusb 1.0 instead of 0.1, you can probably use libusb-compat
to provide backwards compatible usb.h and libusb.so files.

On Debian or Ubuntu systems, you might need to do apt-get install
libusb-dev | on Arch systems, you might need to do sudo pacman -S
libusb-compat | on Gentoo systems, you might need to do sudo emerge
libusb-compat.

After that, unpack and compile the source code with:

tar xvfz mspdebug-version.tar.gz
cd mspdebug-version
