* First make sure the dependencies are met
* You will need some development tools and header packages. For ease of use,
there are some install_deps_* scripts for various distributions in the scripts
folder of this package, which you can execute or take as a guideline.
* Compilation and Installation
In any shell type the following:
$ tar -xjf libgaminggear-X.X.X.tar.bz2
$ cd libgaminggear-X.X.X
$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX="/usr" ..
$ make
$ sudo make install
* optional cmake entries you can set with -D:
* CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE If you want useful debug information in case of
errors use Debug. Default is Release.
* INSTALL_CMAKE_MODULESDIR If cmake doesn't find the right install directory
for cmake modules, you can set it manually. Normally it's /usr/share/cmake/Modules.
* INSTALL_LIBDIR If cmake doesn't find the right install directory
for libraries, you can set it manually. For 64bit systems that's normally
$PREFIX/lib64 but Ubuntu uses $PREFIX/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/.
* INSTALL_PKGCONFIGDIR If cmake doesn't find the right install directory
for pkg-config, you can set it manually. Normally it's /usr/share/pkgconfig
or /usr/lib*/pkgconfig.
* WITH_UHID, WITH_UINPUT Set either one to TRUE if you want to force one
method. Per default uhid is preferred over uinput.
* UHID_DIR, UINPUT_DIR If cmake doesn't find the right location of the
uhid or uinput device, you can set it manually. Normally it's in /dev or
/dev/input.
* WITH_DOC Set this to TRUE if you want to build the API
documentation.
* GFX_PLUGIN_DIR
* It is strongly recommended to install everything in /usr instead of the default
directory /usr/local.
* Finishing steps
* For input events to work for users (needed for software macros and such) they
need access rights for uinput or uhid. To use them as normal user you should
create an extra group like
$ sudo groupadd --system uinput-users
and add all needed users to this group.
$ sudo usermod -a -G uinput-users $USER
Create a file like /etc/udev/rules.d/90-uinput.rules containing the lines
KERNEL=="uinput", GROUP="uinput-users", MODE="0660"
KERNEL=="uhid", GROUP="uinput-users", MODE="0660"
Also you need to make sure the modules are loaded automatically. For this
create a file /etc/modules-load.d/uinput.conf with either uinput or uhid as
it's content.
Unload/reload the module or reboot.
* Refresh the icon cache
Call the command
$ sudo touch --no-create /usr/share/icons/hicolor
where /usr has to be substituted with your install prefix.
* Building an rpm
The package contains the file libgaminggear.spec that fits at least fedora which
you can use.
The easiest way is to write
$ rpmbuild -ta --clean libgaminggear-X.X.X.tar.bz2
which creates all rpms on the fly
