This wiki explains how to compile GIMX from a Linux terminal.<br />
<br />
==Install development packages== <!--T:2--><br />
<br />
<!--T:27--><br />
On Ubuntu 20.04:<br /><br />
<code><br />
sudo apt-get install build-essential pkg-config git g++ libwxgtk3.0-gtk3-dev libbluetooth-dev libxml2-dev libusb-1.0-0-dev libncursesw5-dev gettext xterm xdg-utils libmhash-dev libcurl4-gnutls-dev libxi-dev libx11-dev</code><br />
<br />
<!--T:27--><br />
On Ubuntu 18.04 / Raspbian Stretch:<br /><br />
<code><br />
sudo apt-get install build-essential pkg-config git g++ libwxgtk3.0-dev libbluetooth-dev libxml2-dev libusb-1.0-0-dev libncursesw5-dev gettext xterm xdg-utils libmhash-dev libcurl4-gnutls-dev libxi-dev libx11-dev</code><br />
<br />
<!--T:3--><br />
On Ubuntu 14.04:<br /><br />
<code><br />
sudo apt-get install git g++ libwxgtk2.8-dev libbluetooth-dev libxml2-dev libusb-1.0-0-dev libncursesw5-dev gettext xterm xdg-utils libmhash-dev libcurl4-gnutls-dev libxi-dev libx11-dev</code><br />
<br />
<!--T:22--><br />
On Raspbian Jessie:<br /><br />
<code><br />
sudo apt-get install build-essential pkg-config git g++ libwxgtk2.8-dev libbluetooth-dev libxml2-dev libusb-1.0-0-dev libncursesw5-dev gettext xterm xdg-utils libmhash-dev libcurl4-gnutls-dev libxi-dev libx11-dev</code><br />
<br />
<!--T:4--><br />
On Fedora:<br /><br />
<code><br />
dnf -y install wxGTK-devel bluez-libs-devel glib2-devel libxml2-devel libXi-devel libusb-devel libcurl-devel ncurses-devel mhash-devel(to be completed)</code><br />
<br />
==Download GIMX sources== <!--T:9--><br />
<br />
<!--T:10--><br />
<code><br />
git clone -b master --single-branch --depth 1 --recursive -j8 <nowiki>https://github.com/matlo/GIMX.git</nowiki></code><br />
<br />
==Compile== <!--T:11--><br />
<br />
<!--T:12--><br />
<code><br />
cd GIMX<br /><br />
make -j 2</code><br />
<br />
<!--T:13--><br />
Replace "2" with your number of CPU cores.<br />
<br />
==Install== <!--T:14--><br />
<br />
<!--T:15--><br />
<code><br />
sudo make install</code><br />
<br />
==Set the setuid== <!--T:19--><br />
<br />
<!--T:20--><br />
A few gimx binaries need root priviledges.<br />
<br />
<!--T:21--><br />
<code><br />
sudo chmod u+s /usr/bin/gimx /usr/bin/sixaddr /usr/bin/bdaddr /usr/bin/hcirevision</code><br />
<br />
==Set Input Device Permissions== <!--T:16--><br />
<br />
<!--T:17--><br />
One way to give read permissions to GIMX is to create a special group, change /dev/input/event* group ownership to that group, and then make the gimx binaries setgid to that group.<br />
<br />
<!--T:18--><br />
<code><br />
sudo su<br /><br />
<br />
<!--T:23--><br />
groupadd -f input<br /><br />
<br />
<!--T:24--><br />
echo "KERNEL==\"event*\", NAME=\"input/%k\", MODE:=\"660\", GROUP=\"input\"" > /etc/udev/rules.d/99-gimx-input.rules<br /><br />
echo "KERNEL==\"js*\", NAME=\"input/%k\", MODE:=\"664\", GROUP=\"input\"" >> /etc/udev/rules.d/99-gimx-input.rules<br /><br />
chgrp -f input /dev/input/event* /dev/input/js*<br /><br />
chmod -f g+rw /dev/input/event* /dev/input/js*<br /><br />
<br />
<!--T:25--><br />
chgrp input /usr/bin/gimx-config /usr/bin/gimx-fpsconfig /usr/bin/gimx-launcher<br /><br />
chmod g+s /usr/bin/gimx-config /usr/bin/gimx-fpsconfig /usr/bin/gimx-launcher<br /><br />
<br />
<!--T:26--><br />
exit</code><br />
