Graphical front-end for generating game controller configuration files.

InputStation

A graphical front-end for generating game controller configuration files. It is based on the work for EmulationStation by Aloshi.

Project website: http://github.com/petrockblock/inputstation

InputStation is used by RetroPie, an open-source project that aims at turning system-on-chip platforms like the Raspberry Pi into old-school gaming machines. You can find that project at retropie.net.

Troubleshooting

• First, try to check the issue list for some entries that might match your problem. Make sure to check closed issues too!

• Try to update to the latest version of InputStation using git:

cd InputStationDirectory/program/
git pull
cmake . -DFREETYPE_INCLUDE_DIRS=/usr/include/freetype2/
make clean
make

• If your problem still isn't gone, the best way to report a bug is to post an issue on GitHub. Try to post the simplest steps possible to reproduce the bug. Include files you think might be related. If you haven't re-run InputStation since the crash, the log file is_log.txt is also helpful.

Building

InputStation uses some C++11 code, which means you'll need to use at least g++-4.7.

InputStation has a few dependencies. For building, you'll need CMake, SDL2, Boost (System, Filesystem, DateTime, Locale), FreeImage, FreeType, Eigen3, and cURL.

All of this be easily installed with apt-get:

sudo apt-get install libsdl2-dev libboost-system-dev libboost-filesystem-dev libboost-date-time-dev libboost-locale-dev libfreeimage-dev libfreetype6-dev libeigen3-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev libasound2-dev libgl1-mesa-dev build-essential cmake fonts-droid

Then, generate and build the Makefile with CMake:

cd YourInputStationDirectory/program/
cmake . -DFREETYPE_INCLUDE_DIRS=/usr/include/freetype2/
make clean
make

Thanks

InputStation is based on EmulationStation by Aloshi. Without the work of Aloshi, InputStation would not exist in the way it does now.
