Antonio Borneo 68e50415a1 openocd: drop dependency from libusb0
Now that the old drivers have been converted to libusb1, there is
no need to keep the build dependency from libusb0.

Drop libusb0 from configure and makefiles, remove the libusb0
helper and remove libusb0 and libusb-compat from the README files.

Building OpenOCD for macOS
--------------------------
There are a few prerequisites you will need first:
- Xcode (install from the AppStore)
- Command Line Tools (install from Xcode -> Preferences -> Downloads)
- Gentoo Prefix (http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/gentoo-alt/prefix/bootstrap.xml)
or
- Homebrew (http://mxcl.github.io/homebrew/)
or
- MacPorts (http://www.macports.org/install.php)
If you're building manually you need Texinfo version 5.0 or later. The
simplest way to get it is to use Homebrew (brew install texinfo) and
then ``export PATH=/usr/local/opt/texinfo/bin:$PATH``.
With Gentoo Prefix you can build the release version or the latest
devel version (-9999) the usual way described in the Gentoo
documentation. Alternatively, install the prerequisites and build
manually from the sources.
With Homebrew you can either run:
brew install [--HEAD] openocd (where optional --HEAD asks brew to
install the current git version)
or
brew install libtool automake libusb [hidapi] [libftdi]
(to install the needed dependencies and then proceed with the
manual building procedure)
For building with MacPorts you need to run:
sudo port install libtool automake autoconf pkgconfig \
libusb [libftdi1]
You should also specify LDFLAGS and CPPFLAGS to allow configure to use
MacPorts' libraries, so run configure like this:
LDFLAGS=-L/opt/local/lib CPPFLAGS=-I/opt/local/include ./configure [options]
See README for the generic building instructions.
If you're using a USB adapter and have a driver kext matched to it,
you will need to unload it prior to running OpenOCD. E.g. with Apple
driver (OS X 10.9 or later) for FTDI run:
sudo kextunload -b com.apple.driver.AppleUSBFTDI
for FTDI vendor driver use:
sudo kextunload FTDIUSBSerialDriver.kext
