NP Labs Externals use this to make code\nbuild quickly and easily for as many platforms as possible.\n\nMore project info @ http://puredata.info/Members/thomas/flext\n\n=== liblightstone ===\n\nnp_lightstone uses the liblightstone library for communicating with\nthe Lightstone.\n\nMore project info @ http://liblightstone.nonpolynomial.com\n\nSource repo @ http://www.github.com/qdot/liblightstone\n\n== Installation ==\n\n- Put the .mxo(Mac)/.mxe(Windows) or .pd_[platform] file in a\n  directory that Max/Pd will search for externals (Max: Options -\u003e\n  File Preferences -\u003e Other Folders, Pd: Options -\u003e Paths)\n\n- Max: Put the .help (Max4) or .maxhelp (Max5) file in the max-help\n  directory of your Max/MSP installation\n\n== Compilation Instructions ==\n\nAssuming you want to build the external yourself instead of using a\nbinary package, it is recommended that you check the flext building\ndocumentation. However, for a quick overview, you can follow these\nsteps:\n\n- Check out flext from the flext repo (listed above). You'll need\n  either the Max SDK or the Pd Source Code in order to compile it.\n\n- Compile flext\n\n- Customize the package.txt file in the directory of the np external\n  you're building. There may be various package_[platform].txt files\n  that have some values already filled in. You will most likely need\n  to customize things like include and link directories though.\n\n- From the np external source directory, run the following command,\n  changing the things in brackets to work with your specific platform\n  and program setup.\n\n-----------------\n[path-to-flext]/build.[sh/bat] [pd/max] [gcc/whatever] build\n-----------------\n\n- Congrats, you should now have the external sitting in a directory\n  relating to your program. Or you could just download the binaries,\n  or email Kyle with a request to build them for you.\n\n== Platform Specific Issues ==\n\n=== Mac OS X ===\n\nAssuming you have not installed the Journey to Wild Divine software\nand are not installing the dmg version of liblightstone, you will need\nto install the \"Lightstone OS X Extension\" in order to use the\nlightstone on OS X. \n\nSimply copy the LightstoneNullDriver.kext bundle included with the\npackage to the /System/Library/Extensions directory and reboot.\n\n=== Linux ===\n\nThe lightstone VID/PID pair will need to be blacklisted so that the\nLinux HID manager does not pick them up. This can be done via udev\nrules, or else you can just run things as root.\n\n=== Windows ===\n\nNo known issues. Don't see this very often, eh?\n\n== Licensing ==\n\nnp_lightstone is covered under the GPL License due to Flext. If you can\nunwind it from flext somehow, consider it BSD.\n\n=== np_lightstone Copyright ===\n\n-------------------\nnp_lightstone, Copyright 2007-2011 Kyle Machulis/Nonpolynomial Labs\n-------------------\n\n=== Flext Copyright and GPL License ===\n\nflext source code are covered under the GPL v2 License. np_lightstone is\nBSD, but since it's based on flext, it's GPL.\n\n-------------------\nflext - C++ layer for Max/MSP and pd (pure data) externals\nCopyright (C) 2001-2005 Thomas Grill\n\nThis program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or\nmodify it under the terms of the GNU General Public License\nas published by the Free Software Foundation; either version 2\nof the License, or (at your option) any later version.\n \nThis program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,\nbut WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of\nMERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
