Development on Linux

This wiki explains how to compile GIMX from a Linux terminal.

Install development packages

   sudo apt-get install g++ libwxgtk2.8-dev libbluetooth-dev libglib2.0-dev libxml2-dev libxi-dev libusb-dev libusb-1.0-0-dev libncurses5-dev

On Fedora: yum -y install wxGTK-devel bluez-libs-devel glib2-devel libxml2-devel libXi-devel libusb-devel

Compile a patched SDL library

   wget http://www.libsdl.org/release/SDL-1.2.14.tar.gz
   tar xzvf SDL-1.2.14.tar.gz
   svn export http://diyps3controller.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/libsdl/patch
   cd SDL-1.2.14
   patch -p1 < ../patch
   ./configure ; make
   cd ..

Copy SDL headers and .so

   mkdir -p libsdl/lib
   mkdir -p libsdl/include/SDL
   cp SDL-1.2.14/build/.libs/libSDL.so libsdl/lib
   cp SDL-1.2.14/include/* libsdl/include/SDL

Download GIMX sources

   svn checkout http://diyps3controller.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/GIMX

Compile

   cd GIMX
   make -j 2

Replace "2" with your number of CPU cores.

Install

   sudo make install
