Thanks for pointing this out. This is a Unix unit, but it is obviously
not used in Ezusb. I've removed it now.

It seems you didn't install the development stuff for libc and lib-usb?
At least in Linux, I always have to install these additionally (e.g.,
libusb-1.0-0-dev) to the "productive" libraries (e.g., libusb-1.0-0).

Same as above for Errors. However, this file is unused.

Same as above for Errors.

This seems to be again a problem because of the missing development
stuff for libc anc libusb.

I would recommend, first to just compile the pristine pas-libusb
without any hints from that Github issue. Only if you get the same
errors, please try them and let me know.

As stated above, I've now removed all references to the units Errors
and Baseunix. Please "git pull" to the newest state on Github and
compile again. If you still face problems, please don't hesitate to ask
again.

Thanks
