liblightstone comes in two flavors: Win32 and libusb-1.0. The Win32 version uses direct Win32 DDK calls to access the windows HID system, and reads raw reports from there. libusb-1.0 works for all platforms currently supporting the library. As of this writing (late December 2009), the libusb-1.0 version of liblightstone has been tested on OS X and linux.
-
CMake (Required on all platforms) - http://www.cmake.org
-
WDK (Windows Only) - http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/devtools/WDK/default.mspx
-
libusb-1.0 (All non-windows platforms) - http://www.libusb.org
To build liblightstone, make a subdirectory in the source dir (called whatever you want), then go into that directory and run "cmake ..". This will generate the project files for your platform (makefiles for OS X and linux, visual studio for windows). For more information on project generators, look at the cmake documentation.
Assuming you have not installed the Journey to Wild Divine software and are not installing the dmg version of liblightstone, you will need to install the "Lightstone OS X Extension" in order to use the lightstone on OS X.
Simply copy the LightstoneNullDriver.kext bundle included with the package to the /System/Library/Extensions directory and reboot.
