Well, the code anyway. I have now finished the first version of a java class wrapper for the linux joystick driver, written a java gui test program, and it works! ... er, At least it works on my system, with my jdk, on my distribution, with my joystick, so I'd like to make it available for others to test. But, as this is my first linux programming project, I have no clue how to build appropriate makefile for: 1- gotta build the native .c file into a shared library 2- build the java files into a jar 3- need to install the .so created in step 1 into an appropriate directory. (In the LD_LIBRARY_PATH?) 4- put the .jar file in an appropriate directory in the classpath. 5- How do I put an appropriate "license" on it so it can be used freely? I'd like changes to come back to me, so I can be the maintainer of the thing, but want people to use or improve it, and make it useful. So,I think there should be: make clean make configure - do I need this? maybe to find out where the linux jni includes are? make - to build the so, and the jar files make install - to install the stuff appropriately Should I write the doc in javadoc since it's just a set of classes for an api? Or in a readme? Both? Where do I include the license descriptions? Is there a "template" or sample license file somewhere that I can use? I appreciate any help in this, since I've never attempted this stuff, and have never done makefiles, shell scripts, etc. Where do I start?
