im a long time lurker and have a few questions regarding getting boblight to compile. I've been using win7 x64 for awhile and up until recently was using processing occasionally for my adalight that i built. So i know that it works but, after spending the last 2 days failing to get boblight to work inside windows i made the switch to xbmcbuntu of which i have no linux experience so yeah thats probably part of my problem.
I dont have my log file readily available and if this problem is something that isnt simple i can upload it tomorrow.
To start i followed these directions trying to make the boblight file http://code.google.com/p/boblight/wiki/Compiling and i ran into alot of issues in the ./configure step.
first of which was an error that stated missing header. From my reading i read that regarded libusb. So i tried to apt-get install libusb-dev but, it still doesnt fix the issue. So i tried to ./configure --without-libusb
once i do that i get an error regarding ffmpeg and ola. I tried passing on them both which allowed me to complete the ./configure step but then i tried to make the file and i get an error that it cannot finish. I tried sudo make, make, make && sudo make install nothing is working.
My pc is running amd processor and nvidia graphics card. For my adalight i am using these
http://adafruit.com/products/322
http://adafruit.com/products/50
though i think mine is revision 1 because i built this setup a year or so ago.
Any help would be greatly appreciated i've tried using the search feature but, my lack of experience with linux and the information being so spread out i wasnt able to come up with a solution.
