input_noticer install instructions David Merrill In order to make this code compile, I had to install the following libraries onto my system: libhal-dev libglib2.0-dev libdbus-glib-1-dev In a debian-based system, they can be installed with apt-get, as in: sudo apt-get install libhal-dev To see if you have the right libraries installed in order to compile, you can try compiling the test_noticer.c file, by running the test_noticer_compile.sh shell script, as follows: source test_noticer_compile.sh Then, run test_noticer, and when it's running you should see messages when you plug, or un-plug a joystick. Once you've got your libraries sorted out, to compile and install, you should first modify the Makefile to suit your system. Then you can type: make pd_linux make install_noticer
