Compiling from Source

 

Download the source from the Download page and extract it, e.g.

tar -xzvf mhuxd-0.53.tar.gz

Change into the source directory. Perform:

export CFLAGS=-O2

./configure

make

make install

This will install everything into /usr/local. If you want everything in a single folder you can use the –prefix option of configure:

./configure --prefix=/usr/local/mhuxd-0.50

make

make install

Make sure that the required kernel modules are loaded:

modprobe ftdi_sio

modprobe cuse

Start mhuxd on command line:

sudo /usr/local/sbin/mhuxd
