I'm having some issues installing he [X11mouse] and [X11key] into pd under ubuntu 10.04. Firstly, I followed the readme and it said that xlib-dev and xmms-dev could not be found; I went into the synaptics package manager and found xmms2-dev and libx-dev and installed these and all other related ones. I then went into the terminal again and tried the make command, it said the files were up to date.

I guess I should maintain these externals. The x11mouse and x11key externals could be separated from the xmms one. (not related at all)

Unfortunately, I am not much into Pd these days, though I wrote more C than before. Trying to make this work could take a few hours. If you help me with finding the right libraries and such, I could put some time in this. (the name of its Ubuntu package changed)

These days, I use the GNU autotools for managing compilation rules. I don't write make files by hand much.

Also, I don't mind using puredata's SVN repository to manage this code, though I much prefer distributed SCM, such as Git.

I suggest we follow this up on the pd-list. Maybe some people will have more time than me to work on this. (though I am interested in the C/X11 part)

Cheers!
