Building

cd crossjoy
# Create a build directory
mkdir build
cd build
# Build using CMake
cmake ..
cmake --build .

Note

Although this has been programmed with the aim of working cross-platform, this has only been tested on Linux.

Running

Note

On Linux you may need to run the program as root (or change udev rules) to avoid "Permission Denied" errors.

# Run!
./joycon
