r101 r132 1 0.6.00 2 - renamed libwiimote to libcwiid to avoid naming conflict with other projects 3 - rewrite of libcwiid architecture 4 - Python libcwiid interface 5 - Python wminput plugins 6 - rewrite of ir_ptr plugin 7 1 8 0.5.03 2 9 - Bugfixes, lswm utility, disconnect messages, wminput infinite wait trunk/README
r129 r132 24 24 The CWiid package contains the following parts: 25 25 1.libcwiid - wiimote API. 26 2.wmgui - GTK gui to the wiimote. 27 3.wminput - an event/joystick/mouse driver for the wiimote. 28 4.lswm - list wiimote devices (in the spirit of ls{,pci,usb}, etc. 29 4.wmdemo - a minimal demonstration of the libwiimote API. (not installed) 26 2.cwiid module - python interface to libcwiid 27 3.wmgui - GTK gui to the wiimote. 28 4.wminput - an event/joystick/mouse driver for the wiimote. 29 5.lswm - list wiimote devices (in the spirit of ls{,pci,usb}, etc. 30 6.wmdemo - a minimal demonstration of the libwiimote API.

In order to prevent the collection of obselete directories and files, it is recommended that you run 'make uninstall && make uninstall_config' from your current CWiid source directory before installing a new one. Files are currently installed to the following directories: /usr/local/{bin,etc,lib,lib/cwiid }. Recently, but no longer, used directories include /usr/share/CWiid - this directory may be deleted.44 While CWiid is still in the early development stages, installation directories and filenames are changed more often than in a mature, stable package. In order to prevent the collection of obselete directories and files, it is recommended that you run 'make uninstall && make uninstall_config' from your current CWiid source directory before installing a new one. Files are currently installed to the following directories: /usr/local/{bin,etc,lib,lib/cwiid,lib/python2.X/site-packages,share/doc,share/man}. Recently, but no longer, used directories include /usr/share/CWiid - this directory may be deleted. 44 45 45 46 Many distributions do not have /usr/local/lib in the library search path, and on many of these same distributions, the library installation directory (as determined by autoconf) is /usr/local/lib, creating a problem when you try to run programs depending on libraries installed there. There are two clean ways to fix this: 46 47 1.Add a --prefix=/usr argument to ./configure 47 2.Add /usr/local/lib to /etc/ld.so.conf, then run ldconfig. 48 2.Add /usr/local/lib to /etc/ld.so.conf, then run ldconfig. 48 49 49 50 I prefer the second method since it keeps local software in the local directory where it should be, and it fixes the problem for every package using /usr/local/lib, not just CWiid. Until someone offers a convincing argument for the omission of /usr/local/lib from /etc/ld.so.conf, I consider this to be a distribution bug, and method #2 above is the fix. trunk/wminput/README
r102 r132 91 91 For developers, the plugin API is specified in cwiid/wminput/wmplugin.h. The examples cover most of the functionality, except buttons, which are triggered by asserting the i^th bit of the buttons element of struct wmplugin_data, where i is the index of the button. 92 92 93 Plugins may now be implemented in Python, as well as C. A Python version of the acc plugin may be found in cwiid/wminput/plugins/acc.
