2.7 Stretch-no linuxcnc-dev , 2.7 wheezy-no libusb 1.0.0-dev = no pokeys

Is there some sort of work around to installing the Pokeys component? In wheezy the ilbusb 1.0.0-dev is unavailable with apt-get and with Stretch linuxcnc-dev is is unavailable with apt-get unavailable, which means no halcompile.

I had installed the 2.7 version with Stretch and when I attempted to install
linuxcnc-dev with apt-get( via copied command from the documentation) , I get an error stating that linuxcnc-dev was not available. So my kunundrom is , wheezy -no libusb-dev with stretch , no linuxcnc-dev. So I’m stuck and I think there is another thread about the missing file for stretch. Help? Thanks.

Im really trying to be patient with this..... So far I have installed 3 different versions and have 3 different sets of problems

Wheezy with lcnc 2.7, cant install libusb-1.0-dev
Strech with 2.7 cant install linuxcnc-dev
Above package with 2.8 cant install libusb-1.0-dev

zoey@zoey:~$ sudo apt-get install git build-essential libusb-1.0-0 libusb-1.0-0-dev

Edit---I reinstalled 2.7 strech and linuxcnc -dev was included and it compiled the pokeys comp, bad install I guess..
