I’m trying to write a vlc module to control it with the wiimote.
http://wiki.videolan.org/Hacker_Guide/How_To_Write_a_Module
I’m using the library cwiid.h http://abstrakraft.org/cwiid/wiki/libcwiid
I’m on Kubuntu 11.10 and when I’m compiling my module with ./vlc -vvv –extraintf wiimote I’ve this message :
main interface warning: cannot load module `/home/staross/vlc/modules/control/.libs/libwiimote_plugin.so’ (/home/staross/vlc/modules/control/.libs/libwiimote_plugin.so: undefined symbol: cwiid_find_wiimote)
The compilator can’t find the library, there is a link problem.
the library is installed in this directory: /usr/local/include/cwiid.h
I’ve already try lot of things:
put the absolute path in the #include<>
Change the path of cwiid.h : /home/staross/vlc/include/
Modify the file ld.so.conf and add this lines:
include /etc/ld.so.conf.d/*.conf
include /usr/local/lib/*.h
Modify the configure.ac file and add theses lines
dnl
dnl Wiimote plugin
dnl
AC_ARG_ENABLE(wiimote,
[ --enable-wiimote wiimote support (default disabled)])
if test "${enable_wiimote}" = "yes"
then
AC_CHECK_HEADER(cwiid.h, AC_CHECK_LIB(cwiid, cwiid_open, have_cwiid="true", have_cwiid="false"), have_cwiid="false")
if test "${have_cwiid}" = "true"
then
VLC_ADD_PLUGIN([wiimote])
VLC_ADD_LIBS([wiimote],[-lcwiid])
fi
fi
Modify the Modules.am like that
SOURCES_hello = hello.c
SOURCES_wiimote = wiimote.c
SUBDIRS = globalhotkeys dbus
SOURCES_dummy = dummy.c
SOURCES_gestures = gestures.c
SOURCES_netsync = netsync.c
SOURCES_ntservice = ntservice.c
SOURCES_hotkeys = hotkeys.c
SOURCES_lirc = lirc.c
SOURCES_oldrc = rc.c
if HAVE_DARWIN
motion_extra = unimotion.c unimotion.h
else
motion_extra = $(NULL)
endif
SOURCES_motion = \
motion.c \
$(motion_extra) \
$(NULL)
libvlc_LTLIBRARIES += \
libdummy_plugin.la \
libgestures_plugin.la \
libnetsync_plugin.la \
libhotkeys_plugin.la \
libhello_plugin.la \
libwiimote_plugin.la
if !HAVE_WINCE
libvlc_LTLIBRARIES += \
liboldrc_plugin.la
if !HAVE_WIN32
libvlc_LTLIBRARIES += \
libmotion_plugin.la
else
libvlc_LTLIBRARIES += \
libntservice_plugin.la
endif
endif
And of course the code from wiimote.c
#include <fcntl.h>
#ifdef HAVE_CONFIG_H
# include "config.h"

}
So the question here is what can I do now to hope that the compilator will find the library and recognise the cwiid.h functions ?
Thank you!
I solved the problem:
I modified the Makefile from vlc/modules/control/Makefile and add: LIBS_wiimote = -lcwiid
after
rm *wiimote*rebuild with
make V=1 libwiimote_plugin.laproblem solved 🙂
