taaparthur / libsgestures Goto Github PK

Things seem to be working mostly ok for me using:

sgestures-libinput-writer | sgestures

Where sgestures is compiled from https://github.com/TAAPArthur/SystemConfig/blob/master/Config/.config/sgestures/config.c with modified gestureBindings. Only issue is a 3-finger tap produces a segmentation fault. Even when I use your unmodified config.c, a 3-finger tap still seg faults. There is no binding defined for a 3 finger tap.

Hello, can you please help me understand "normal" usage? I've built libsgestures as an Alpine Linux package and separately built an sgestures binary based off your config.c with some minor modifications.

I can successfully test the above using the writer piped into the reader as illustrated in the debug section of the Makefile:

So I feel like I'm almost there, I'm just a little confused over your sgestures.sh where it seems like when you recompile you just exec sgestures and that's it (where is the writer?):

I'm not explaining it well really, but based on our previous interaction with navboard, your approach for your usage seems similar here, in that you have this setup so you can make config changes and recompile on the device you are running it on, which is cool, but I'm trying to build just a static config to run on another machine with the understanding that if I need a config change, I'll have to do it on the builder and reinstall on the target. Can I build just a standalone writer/reader or does there need to be a separate writer piped to the reader?

Hello, I hope your new year is going well!

I am still using this great software with no issues but I'm changing other components and in the process decided to also change how I'm using libsgestures.

I'd like to completely offload the gesture region detection to an external script. Currently, regions are set at compile time. I've accomplished this by monitoring both gestureSelectMask and TouchStartMask so I get two messages for each event, the touch start and then the final gesture.

I tried to figure out to include the touch down coordinates as part of the final gesture event but couldn't figure it out. If you have any suggestions I'd appreciate it. Thanks!

Sorry to keep asking questions but I'm struggling with getting the reader to work unless I compile with debug flags. Attached is the config.c I'm using. In order to shoehorn it into an Alpine package, I'm copying in the config.c as sample-gesture-reader.c and then using make sample-gesture-reader as the build step. The packaging step renames the executable to sgestures.

If I patch out the debug flags:

--- ./Makefile.orig
+++ ./Makefile
@@ -41,7 +41,6 @@
 	$(CC) $(CFLAGS) $^ -o $@ $(LDFLAGS) -ludev -linput
 
 
-sample-gesture-reader: CFLAGS := $(DEBUGGING_FLAGS)
 sample-gesture-reader: sample-gesture-reader.o $(SRC:.c=.o)
 	$(CC) $(CFLAGS) $^ -o $@ -lm

I have the issue previously noted where the only gesture recognized is a tap. If I don't patch the Makefile and compile with the debugging flags then it works well, I get North, South, East, West etc.

What am I doing wrong?
