Building PS Move API in Ubuntu Linux
====================================

These instructions have been tested and verified for Ubuntu 12.04 LTS.

The commands are entered into the Terminal (use Ctrl+Alt+T to open one).

We assume that you are going to clone the repository into ~/src/psmoveapi/


1. Upgrade your system to the latest packages

   sudo apt-get update
   sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

2. Install Git

   sudo apt-get install git

3. Clone the PS Move API Repository

   mkdir -p ~/src/
   cd ~/src/
   git clone git://github.com/thp/psmoveapi.git
   cd psmoveapi
   git submodule init
   git submodule update

4. Install the build-dependencies

   sudo apt-get install build-essential cmake libudev-dev libbluetooth-dev \
           libv4l-dev libopencv-dev

5.a Build the API (as Debian package) and install it

   cd ~/src/psmoveapi/
   dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot
   sudo dpkg -i ../*psmoveapi*.deb

5.b Build the API (standalone - if you want to make changes)

   cd ~/src/psmoveapi/
   mkdir build
   cd build
   cmake ..
   make -j4
