Nut upsuser - Jul 2006 - Error during make: *** No rule to make target `usb.h', needed by `tripplite-hid.o'. Stop.

I downloaded the latest development tree (revision 471), ran configure 
with the following command:
./configure --with-user=nut --with-drivers=tripplite-hid
make

The common directory is built normally, then when it tries to make the 
drivers, I get this error:
make[1]: *** No rule to make target `usb.h', needed by 
`tripplite-hid.o'.  Stop.

I get this error when I try to build any usb or hid driver. When I try:
./configure --with-user=nut
make
make usb

I get:
make[1]: *** No rule to make target `usb.h', needed by `newhidups.o'. 
Stop.

The operating system I want to run it on is Slackware 10.1, though have 
tried building it on a Slackware 10.2 and even a SimplyMepis 6.0 (Ubuntu 
Dapper) box with the same results.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Phil

It looks like the Makefile.drvbuild have to be regenerated.
When you have done the config, cd into the driver directory and run
'make depend'.

Then 'cd ..' and do the 'make' and 'make usb'.
Now it should build.

It bombs out on the make as the target is an usb driver. But it builds
on the 'make usb'.
