input_lite's Issues

Use uinput on Linux

It may be desirable (especially with people moving to stuff like Wayland) to go through the kernel via uinput so that there is no runtime dependency on X11, making this work on systems that don't use X11.

libevdev has some wrappers for using uinput, but you can totally use it directly.

integration with cmake

Hi and thanks for this awesome lib!

I would like to use it as a third party. I have set the environment variable input_lite_DIR to contain the library install dir. In my project, I tried to import it with the following CMake instructions:

find_package(input_lite CONFIG REQUIRED)
target_link_libraries(${PROJECT_NAME} PRIVATE input_lite)

Unfortunately, find_package() doesn't seem to find it:

CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:101 (find_package):
  Could not find a package configuration file provided by "input_lite" with
  any of the following names:

    input_liteConfig.cmake
    input_lite-config.cmake

  Add the installation prefix of "input_lite" to CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH or set
  "input_lite_DIR" to a directory containing one of the above files.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks in advance for your help!
