Yes, that is my current theory. It's a little complicated in practice - openusb has a different API than libusb-0.1.x, but it supposedly includes a compatibility layer. If openusb works, I would not expect it to wait for more than 1 or 5 seconds when reading the...

Hi, I couldn't get openusb to make successfully but the good news is that Solaris seems to include openusb in the package repository and I have now installed it: ./usr/lib/libopenusb.so.0.0.1 Any idea how i can get NUT to build against this libopenusb which has been installed by Solaris?

Right, AFAIK ugen is the kernel driver that libusb and openusb talk to (/dev/usb/*).

...39;t find any relevant source code when searching for Solaris libusb 0.1.7 with Google. Do you have any other information about the libusb that is installed there? There is also this fork of libusb that claims to support Solaris, and the code seems to have timeouts: http://sourceforge.net/projects/openusb/ -- Charles Lepple clepple at gmail -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Again, apologies for my ignorance - are you suggesting that if the NUT application was built against openusb this would probably be fixed? If so I'm happy to give this a try - any idea how can I tell NUT to build against openusb instead of libusb?

...ately, the ugen drivers in Solaris, NetBSD, FreeBSD, etc. are similarly named, but not necessarily the same code. At least with the *BSDs, you can inspect the code to see what has changed (and the BSD USB support has improved significantly across the board since 2006 when that message was posted). OpenUSB seems to work around the blocking issue by creating a separate timeout thread, so I still think there is some hope there. On the other hand, if that doesn't work, I would consider setting up another system dedicated to monitoring the UPS, and setup NUT on Solaris to be a client to the other sy...

Thank you for the rapid response. I will try and investigate getting answers to some of your points but I'm a little new to Solaris so I'll need some time. Glancing at the configure output, it looks like it built against v0.1.7 of libusb (yes i think that is derived from the one you mention), checking for libusb version via pkg-config... 0.1.7 found checking for libusb cflags... checking
