xbmc-wiiremote? Arch doesn't seem to carry this package...

XtrmGmr99 · 2010-05-22 03:13:32

I'm trying to set up XBMC to accept my Wii Remote to control the program, however I can't seem to find this executable. In Ubuntu (distro I used just to make sure the hardware all worked), it was as easy as installing the xbmc-eventclients package, however Arch doesn't seem to have suck a package...

I've also used yaourt to search the AUR with no luck. Am I missing something here?

I haven't experimented with this yet, but you may want to check this page out. It is for general configuration for a wiimote.

Thanks, I didn't know about that.

But I think the package I'm looking for is more integrated with XBMC. But I'll check that out as well.

If the package is not in the repos or the AUR, you should make make your own package for it. When you are happy with the result, you can then submit it to the AUR.

Full details about all this are in the wiki.

I am more than willing to build it from source. The problem is is that I don't know where to get the source. I guess I could ask around the XBMC forums...

I found the source:

http://xbmc.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/ … ntClients/

Can I get a link to the Wiki showing how to make and maintain a AUR package?

That should get you started. Some of the related articles might be informative too.
