Provide make targets and build configuration to create a shared object for other systems/applications to use to control keyboard LEDs without the need for instantiating the g810-led process. Provide make targets for installing library and development files into environments, such as the current system or package builders. Currently preserves precious behavior of building g810-led binary as statically linked. Provides an alternative build target of "bin-linked" which will create a dynamically linked variant.

|
## hidapi vs libusb :</br>
|
|
hidapi is a newer implementation but needs more testing.</br>
|
|
hidapi is more responsive than libusb (~20ms vs ~150ms).</br>

## Installation of dependencies :</br>
|
|
ArchLinux :</br>

`sudo pacman -S git gcc make hidapi` # for hidapi</br>
|
|
`sudo pacman -S git gcc make libusb` # for libusb</br>
|
|
Debian :</br>
|
|
`sudo apt-get install git g++ make libhidapi-dev` # for hidapi</br>
|
|
`sudo apt-get install git g++ make libusb-1.0-0-dev` # for libusb</br>
|
|
Fedora :</br>
|
|
`sudo dnf install git make gcc-c++ hidapi-devel` # for hidapi</br>
|
|
`sudo dnf install git make gcc-c++ libusbx-devel` # for libusb</br>
|
|
|
|
## Installation :</br>
|
|
`git clone https://github.com/MatMoul/g810-led.git`</br>
|
|
`cd g810-led`</br>
|
|
`make` # for hidapi</br>
|
|
`make LIB=libusb` # for libusb</br>
|
|
`sudo make install`</br>
|
|
`make install-lib` to install the libg810-led library.</br>
|
|
`make install-dev` to install the libg810-led library and headers for development.</br>
|
|
|
|
## Building the library :</br>
|
|
The library is built by default when running the `make` (default target "all").</br>
|
|

To specifically build the library as a standalone component: </br>
|
|
`make lib`</br>
