unexpected token `XWIIMOTE,'

[ottk3]

Hi there

I've got some troubles getting xwiimote-bindings compiled to use them with Python. I'm using Debian 'jessie' and got the packages xwiimote, libxwiimote2 and libxwiimote-dev installed.

When I try to use ./autogen.sh it breaks with the following error:

checking whether to build static libraries... yes
./configure: line 12815: syntax error near unexpected token `XWIIMOTE,'
./configure: line 12815: `PKG_CHECK_MODULES(XWIIMOTE, libxwiimote)'

It's expecting libxwiimote instead of libxwiimote2? Thanks for any help.

not sure, but i thing you should not run autogen.sh which should do more than just required for compilation.

just ./configure --prefix=/anywhere && make && make install

clean the directory, untar again and check it woks please.

If I clone the current repository ./configure is not available since the configure file is missing?

OK, my bad... missed creating the configure file with autoreconf -i, but I get the same error. Using: gcc (Raspbian 4.9.2-10) 4.9.2

sorry, i thought you started from the .tar.gz package. From the git repository, i run ./autogen.sh, and it works on my ubuntu. I've libxwiimote-dev not installed so it stopped later saying the libxwiimote is missing but at least, configure is generated.

what is your version of autoreconf ?

mine is : nicolas@setsouko:~/dev/xwiimote-bindings$ autoreconf --version autoreconf (GNU Autoconf) 2.69

i guess you're version is too old.

Thanks for your reply. My autoreconf version is also 2.69 - might there be a problem with the arm architecture?

pi@raspi:/home/pi# autoreconf --version
autoreconf (GNU Autoconf) 2.69

Where would i find the .tar.gz package?

[nadenislamarre]

is it a raspbian or where can i get the img to try on my pi ? Le 9 oct. 2015 08:44, "Sven Rojek" notifications@github.com a écrit :

Yes, it's the default Raspian 'jessie'.

It's actually an upgraded Minibian - I will try the default Raspbian Image.

[nadenislamarre]

from a fresh raspian jessie just installed from the link below, the following commands work

sudo apt-get install autoconf libtool libxwiimote-dev swig libpython2.7-dev cd /tmp git clone https://github.com/dvdhrm/xwiimote-bindings.git cd xwiimote-bindings ./autogen.sh

unfortunatly, libxwiimote-dev is no up to date on the raspbian, and xwiimote-bindings requires a more recent one so : make # fails

so, we get the last xwiimote version : sudo apt-get remove libxwiimote-dev sudo apt-get autoremove sudo apt-get install ncurses-dev libudev-dev

cd /tmp git clone https://github.com/dvdhrm/xwiimote.git cd xwiimote ./autogen.sh ./configure --prefix=/tmp/install make make install

cd xwiimote-bindings make clean export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/tmp/install/lib/pkgconfig ./configure --prefix=/tmp/install make make install

everything installed in /tmp/install, perhaps you should use an other directory, but choose one to not install with the debian system

Thank you! Worked perfectly with the default Raspbian, seems to be a problem with the Minibian build.

[markierer]

I had exactly the same error message like ottk3. In my case it was the missing package pkg-config. sudo apt-get install pkg-config solved the problem.
