wiimote

Now with recent 2.7 (by the way thank you for this release), I no longer can build with wiimote support, although I have libcwiid and have succesfully built it with this option from SVN version before, now it gives me the error

WIIMOTE configured but you are missing libcwiid!

ubuntu Hardy 32 bit

anyone?

Thx

OK

Further to Joe’s question, if you have set a switch in the scons build ie “WIIMOTE=1” and scons doesn’t find the library shouldn’t it halt instead of just rocketing through the configure stage? I tried an SLV2 build earlier this week and had an outdated library, the configure didn’t halt long enough for me to notice…I guess I blinked or scratched my nose or something!

Anyway scons built the target anyway, and didn’t fail until the install. To my way of thinking and experience with compiling other programs if a requested lib isn’t there shouldn’t there be more than a 4 millisecond warning, in fact the configure should halt.

I have also built 2.7 with WIIMOTE=1 and CWiid 0.6.00 and have no Wiimote listed in my control surfaces. Scons shouldn’t just be building it anyway without a clear warning. IMO

Joe,

It’s like oden said in the post above, there is no /libs/surfaces/wiimote folder in the 2.7 official tarball. I tried it with 2.7 and although it did do the build in my case even though I used the WIIMOTE=1 switch, there was no Wiimote in the surfaces menu in the finished installed program.

Paul has said Wiimote is “disabled” in the Stable release, that is a little misleading because the libraries are not present at all!

I can however confirm that 2.7SVN 4238 can be built with VST, LV2, FREESOUND, FFT_Analysis and WIIMOTE. I built it this weekend and have all supported plugins working and Wiimote appears in my dropdown list of surfaces.

So I’m afraid you will have to build another SVN Yet Again! By now I’m sure you can do it with your eyes closed. BTW you will also need SLV2 0.6.1 to get LV2 running in case you haven’t already.
