cwiid | Linux Nintendo Wiimote interface

If installing from SVN or Git, run the following commands. Otherwise, or if you aren't sure, ignore them. aclocal autoconf. All users should then run: ./configure make sudo make install. To install global configuration files to the more familiar /etc rather than /usr/etc or /usr/local/etc, execute configure with --sysconfdir=/etc. 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. 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: 1.Add a --prefix=/usr argument to ./configure 2.Add /usr/local/lib to /etc/ld.so.conf, then run ldconfig. 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.
