The CWiid package contains the following parts: 1.libcwiid - wiimote API. 2.cwiid module - python interface to libcwiid 3.wmgui - GTK gui to the wiimote. 4.wminput - an event/joystick/mouse driver for the wiimote. 5.lswm - list wiimote devices (in the spirit of ls{,pci,usb}, etc. 6.wmdemo - a minimal demonstration of the libwiimote API. (not installed)
awk, bison, flex, bluez-libs, gtk+-2 dev libs, python 2.4 or greater, python dev for python module, uinput kernel support, kernel sources
./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.
Please report any problems and/or errors to ico@vt.edu.

The bluetooth device address (bdaddr) of the wiimote can be specified on the command-line, or through the WIIMOTE_BDADDR environment variable, in that order of precedence. If neither is given, the first wiimote found by hci_inquiry will be used. See wminput/README for more information on wminput configuration and execution.
