Dependencies

  • libusb (version 0.1 and 1.0 supported)
  • CMake (>= 2.8)
  • Java Development Kit (Java >= 7)
  • C++ compiler (gcc or clang)

Compilation

In order to compile and install the Linux library (libAlienXX.so) and the Java GUI (AlienFX.jar):

$ mkdir build && cd build
# The default install prefix is /usr/local
$ cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX="YOUR_INSTALL_PREFIX"
$ make
$ make install

AlienFX.jar will be installed in the share directory, and an alienfx-lite script will be generated. Then, you can launch the program:

  • if your user has USB rights:
# By directly using the jar file:
$ java -jar AlienFX.jar
# Or by using the generated script:
$ alienfx-lite
  • else:
# By directly using the jar file:
$ sudo java -jar AlienFX.jar
# Or by using the generated script:
$ sudo alienfx-lite

Thanks

  • Thanks to Ingrater for providing the protocol for the AlienFX device and some windows native code.
  • Thanks to Wattos for developing the first versions of AlienFX Lite.
