[Nut-upsuser] Gentoo Ultra USB UPS

[Jonathan Dion]

Hello Barry,

Too bad PowerCom didn't accept to give you their HID usage table... As
if it is a confidential and very important information... Are you sure
you still want to use an UPS from such a manufacturer ?
When will manufacturer understand that linux is not just a dream or a
children game ? Some manifacturer did (like MGE), and we should
support them !

Anyway, back to your compilation problem :

You shouldn't modify Makefile.drvbuild, as it is automatically generated.
And please name your subdriver ultra-hid and not just ultra (just a
detail, but all subdriver names are *-hid), thank ^_^

So, as you did, add ultra-hid.o to the NEWHIDUPS_SUBDRIVERS list in
driver/Makefile.in

then run (assuming you are in the root of NUT source) :
cd drivers && make depend
cd .. && ./configure && make usb

That should do the trick ;-)
