===================================== X-Control Enhanced Plugin ===================================== The source code is available on GitHub at the following location: https://github.com/user2684/xcontrol Requirements ===================================== The plugin can be built using QT Creator and qmake across the different platform and compiles with: - msvc 2013 on Windows (http://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/products/visual-studio-express-vs.aspx) - XCode on Mac OSX (https://developer.apple.com/xcode/) - gcc on Linux (https://gcc.gnu.org/) Compiling the plugin ===================================== In order to compile the code, accomplish the following steps: - Install QT Creator and the relevant QT libraries (http://qt-project.org/downloads) - Install the compiler for the platform of choice - Open the "xcontrol.pro" project file - Configure the build chain based on the instruction available in the project file - Set the target architecture in the project file. - Build the project - When building for different architectures using the same build chain, remember to clean all before rebuilding. in alternative: ```sh qmake && make ``` Supported joysticks ===================================== The plugin supports the following Saitek X52 and Saitek X52 Pro joystick models: - IdVendor: 0x06A3, Id Product 0x0255 - IdVendor: 0x06A3, Id Product 0x075C - IdVendor: 0x06A3, Id Product 0x0762 - IdVendor: 0x06A3, Id Product 0x0BAC Supported USB Libraries ===================================== In order to communicate with the joystick, the plugin uses the following libraries: - libusb-1.0 in Max OSX (http://www.libusb.org/). The library is compiled within the plugin and does not require any further installation. - libusb-0.1 in Linux (http://www.libusb.org/). The library is compiled within the plugin and does not require any further installation. udev is required. - libusb-win32 filter driver in Windows (http://sourceforge.net/p/libusb-win32/wiki/Home/). libusb-win32 is the only library that provides a filter driver which would still make the joystick's original functions available while allowing the plugin to interact with it Directory Structure ===================================== - Root directory: contains the plugin source code - include: contains the plugin include files - include/libusb-1.0: contains libusb-1.0 include files - include/libusb-win32: contains libusb-win32 include files - include/libusb0: contains libusb include files - include/SDK: contains X-Plane SDK include files - libusb-1.0: contains libusb-1.0 source code - libusb0: contains libusb source code - build/lib: contains libraries used when dinamically linking the plugin at compilation time - build/release: contains the files and directories to be distributed - build/working: builds the plugin within this directory
