Error when building program that uses libusb on Raspberry Pi 2 B

Question

I am using Raspbian on a Raspberry Pi 2 B with a build-from-source libusb (version 1.0.18 if you're curious). I am trying to build this program on the Pi, but it gives the follow error:

If you need any other information, I'll provide it.

Edit: Also added the top line for the make details.

Answer 1

Have you installed kernel-headers/kernel-devel/linux-headers(exact name depends on used distro) package? Looks like this program require kernel header file with definitions.

If installing this package won't help please copy-paste full make output, there should be errors about missing file there.
