    configure: expand library search for libftd2xx · c5787d94

    Error was:
    checking for library containing FT_GetLibraryVersion... no
    configure: error: You appear to be missing the FTD2xx driver library.
    
    Reason were two cases:
    
    Case one:
    The FTD2xx library uses clock_gettime() and in normal cases
    the linker will find the function in the libc library. Most
    (older) systems require the program be linked with the librt
    library to use these (see man clock_gettime: Link with -lrt).
    
    Case two:
    You can rebuild the FTD2xx library (relink from the object
    files) against the primary (system wide installed) libusb-1.0.
    So you avoid mixed code (GPL with proprietary code) in the
    FTD2xx library. In this case, the FTD2xx library provides no
    private (linked in) libusb-1.0 functionality and require the
    program be linked with the libftd2xx __AND__ the libusb-1.0
    to resolve all the libusb-1.0 symbols.
