Wiimote WhiteBoard on Ubuntu 15.04 for ASUS N53SV

gistfile1.txt

Download the cross-platform Java version of WiimoteWhiteBoard (http://www.uweschmidt.org/wiimote-whiteboard) and unzip the archive (folder WiimoteWhiteboard will be created)

Go to the WiimoteWhiteboard folder and create a new sub-directory lib

Download the latest GPL’d BlueCove Linux library (http://bluecove.googlecode.com/files/bluecove-gpl-2.1.0.jar) and put it in the lib folder

Type zip WiimoteWhiteboard.jar lib/bluecove-gpl-2.1.0.jar at the command-line in folder WiimoteWhiteboard

That’s it. The software should start normally by typing java -jar WiimoteWhiteboard.jar

If it works, you can remove the folder lib and its contents


****** IMPORTANT ******

if you get :

    java.lang.IllegalStateException: Bluetooth failed to initialize. 
    There is probably a problem with your local Bluetooth stack or API.

you just need to cretae this link :

    sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libbluetooth.so.3.5.0 /usr/lib/libbluetooth.so


****** IMPORTANT 2 *****

on 64bits machines, if you get this error :

    Native Library bluecove_x64 not available

you need to install the libbluetooth-dev package :

    (Ubuntu/Debian) sudo apt-get install libbluetooth-dev 

    (RedHat/Fedora) yum install bluez-libs-devel
