install orientation program

[rwijtvliet]

At the end of the README file you write, concerning the orientation and light sensor programs:

To compile and install (after first compiling and installing the sensor drivers if necessary): make programs sudo make programs-install

which I cannot get to work. Could you provide more detailed instructions please?

Many thanks.

Well, that is all that you should have to do unless something has gone wrong. You should even be able to
make programs
if nothing else has been installed.

Please include the output when you
make programs
and then
sudo make programs-install
so that I can try to see what is going wrong.

Thanks for coming back to me.
No rule to make target 'programs'. Stop.
I tried running it from all subdirectories. I'm running ubuntu unity

[pfps]

Aah.

This should be done in the main directory, i.e., the one that has sensors and
yoga_laptop as subdirectories. There should be a Makefile in that directory
that has programs as a target.

A bit better, but not quite yet:

~/Software/yoga-laptop-master$ make programs
cd sensors && make all
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/user/Software/yoga-laptop-master/sensors'
cc orientation.c -o orientation
In file included from orientation.c:29:0:
libs/common.h:32:35: fatal error: X11/extensions/Xrandr.h: No such file or directory
 #include <X11/extensions/Xrandr.h>
                                   ^
compilation terminated.
make[1]: *** [orientation] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/user/Software/yoga-laptop-master/sensors'
make: *** [programs] Error 2

I tried installing the package you mentioned was necessary, but couldn't find it:

~/Software/yoga-laptop-master$ sudo apt-get install libXrandr-devel 
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package libXrandr-devel

@rwijtvliet libXrandr-devel may be the Fedora package name
to find what package you need in Debian, do apt-file search Xrandr.h, and you'll see that the package name is libxrandr-dev.

[rwijtvliet]

After installing libxrandr-dev and glib-2.0:

yoga-laptop-master$ make programs
cd sensors && make all
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/ruud/Software/yoga-laptop-master/sensors'
make[1]: Nothing to be done for `all'.
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/ruud/Software/yoga-laptop-master/sensors'

... I'm not sure if things got installed before, but the screen isn't rotating and the mouse pad remains active when putting into tablet mode...

any further suggestions? Thanks again

You have to run the orientation program, no daemons are set up.

When you run the orientation program, it should output some stuff saying whether it is working. If it is silent after some initial messages then something has gone wrong. Here is what I see:
yoga-laptop> orientation
iio device number being used is 4
iio trigger number being used is 4
Orientation 1, x: -19, y: -933, z: -298
Orientation at 0.0 is normal
Orientation 1, x: -13, y: -937, z: -312
Orientation at 1.0 is normal
ROTATE to normal
Orientation 1, x: -9, y: -939, z: -313
Orientation at 2.0 is normal
Orientation 1, x: -6, y: -938, z: -319
Orientation at 3.0 is normal
Orientation 1, x: -5, y: -939, z: -314
Orientation at 4.0 is normal
Orientation 1, x: -9, y: -939, z: -320

So I have to run the orientation program on startup in background (eg. via the "Startup Applications" settings in Ubuntu)? Isn't that a bit inperformant?
What about a service that listens to changes?

[pfps]

Certainly a service setup would be nice. However someone has to do the coding.

[soerengrunewald]

If you what to install the program as system service, the display needs to be set correctly.
I have a few patches which allows to pass the display, but I have to rebase them first. I also have a systemd service file for F20.

[jymbob]

+1 for running as a service, but many congrats on getting it working.
