Failed to build.

[curiousmuch]

Hello,

I'm hoping you guys could help me. I'm receiving the following error when I attempt to build the bindings. I have installed xwiimote and libxwiimote-dev. I am using ubuntu 15.04. Do you guys have any idea of what is going on. I'm sorry if this an easy question, I could not find any answers online.

Thanks!

It appears when I install xwiimote, I also installs libxwiimote2 which also contains the libraries. If I attempt to build the bindings without libxwiimote-dev I cannot complete the autogen.sh script.

Thanks for any help you can provide!

Hi @curiousmuch I'm currently trying to work with the xwiimote-bindings and python. My system ist based on Arch Linux. In the beginning I had the same problem like you, when i tried to compile the xwiimote-bindings.

I got the problem solved by uninstalling all xwiimote -related pakages (in my case only xwiimote) and then compiling xwiimote by hand. After that i did try to complile the xwiimote-bindings by hand. And yes - this time it did work without all the "error: ‘XWII_IFACE_GUITAR’ undeclared" messages.

The problem could be the fact that packages you install using apt (or in my case pacman) normaly will be installed in /usr/bin/* and /usr/lib/. xwiimote-bindings seams to need some of this packages in the "/usr/local/lib/" and /usr/local/bin/*"-Paths (this is at least what i think solved my problem)

BTW: I had to do two other things bevor compiling:

1. I had to save the path "/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig" to the PATH-Var "PKG_CONFIG_PATH". xwiimote puts a file there (called libxwiimote.pc) that is necessary for xwiimote-bindings to build.

export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig

1. The example scripts in the folder xwiimote-bindings/examples/python/* are written for python2 NOT for python3. You might want to change your primary pythin version from 3.4 to python2.7 by:

sudo ln -svb ./python2 /usr/bin/python

which replaces the simlink /usr/bin/python with a version that points to python2

If you do have any questions on how to build this, just ask. I have spend the last to days only in trying to understand more of how the build of this stuff works.

UPDATE: Changing the PREFIX in the config-flags to /usr (instead the standart /usr/local might be another solution, even if it's not technicaly beautiful.

By following your comments I was able to succesfully compile xwiimote and xwiimote-bindings on my Raspbian Jessie. Anyway, I installed them without using sudo in my home directory due to development purpose. Now, when I try to import the xwiimote module in Python 2.7 I get the following error:

ImportError: /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libxwiimote.so.2: version `LIBXWIIMOTE_3' not found (required by /home/pi/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/_xwiimote.so)

What is wrong here? Any hint would be very appreciated to get this finally to work.

Hi @MrksKwsnck

Sorry for replying that late. I'm not quite shure wether i got the same error once. I think in my case libxwiimote.so.2 / libxwiimote.so.2.0.0 was not found at all. What helped me was:

1. First ensure, that you have a libxwiimote.so.2 In my case it has ben installed to /usr/local/lib (libxwiimote.so.2 was a symlink to libxwiimote.so.2.0.0 in the same directory)
2. Second - Add the the path to the ldconfig:

To make python find libxwiimote.so.2 I had to edit ld.so.conf Using

sudo nano /etc/ld.so.conf

I added the path pointing to libxwiimote.so.2

/usr/local/lib/

in the line above

# End of file

After saving the file, I had to call

ldconfig

to set this change in the system. This way python was able to find my libxwiimote.so.2 in /usr/local/lib

I hope this helps - Even if I had another error-message... Would be nice to hear wether it worked ;-) - Thanks

@mitras2 Thank you very much for your help. Finally I got it to work now!!1

With your last hint I realized the library file libxwiimote.so.2 was not missing but did not match my self compiled version of the bindings. As I mentioned before I installed xwiimote and xwiimote-bindings in the user's home folder and I still had the outdated Jessie packages installed. So, after removing all xwiimote related Jessie packages I added the library path in the user's home folder to /etc/ld.so.conf as you said and now it just works with the examples.

[PureTryOut]

To be exact (and for anyone trying to build this not on Debian based distros): the problem is that the last and only release of xwiimote, version 2, does not work with xwiimote-bindings currently. You'll need to compile it using the latest git master. That Jessie repo obviously just builds version 2 and thus won't work.

This issue can be closed, OP just needs a more recent xwiimote. CC @dvdhrm and/or @nadenislamarre
