== Description ==

This is a C-based development library for the Lightstone, a Biometric

USB device distributed with the Journey to Wild Divine Relaxation

Software (http://www.wilddivine.com)

liblightstone is released under the BSD License.

== Package Information ==

Project Information @ http://liblightstone.nonpolynomial.com

Source repo @ http://www.github.com/qdot/liblightstone

Releases @ http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/liblightstone

== A Tale of Two Libraries ==

liblightstone comes in two flavors: Win32 and libusb-1.0. The Win32

version uses direct Win32 DDK calls to access the windows HID system,

and reads raw reports from there. libusb-1.0 works for all platforms

currently supporting the library. As of this writing (late December

2009), the libusb-1.0 version of liblightstone has been tested on OS X

and linux.

== Library Requirements (For Compilation) ==

- CMake (Required on all platforms) - http://www.cmake.org

- WDK (Windows Only) - http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/devtools/WDK/default.mspx

- libusb-1.0 (All non-windows platforms) - http://www.libusb.org

== Build Notes ==

To build liblightstone, make a subdirectory in the source dir (called

whatever you want), then go into that directory and run

"cmake ..". This will generate the project files for your platform

(makefiles for OS X and linux, visual studio for windows). For more

information on project generators, look at the cmake documentation.

== Notes on Compilation and Usage ==

=== Mac OS X ===

Assuming you have not installed the Journey to Wild Divine software

and are not installing the dmg version of liblightstone, you will need

to install the "Lightstone OS X Extension" in order to use the

lightstone on OS X. 

Simply copy the LightstoneNullDriver.kext bundle included with the

package to the /System/Library/Extensions directory and reboot.

=== Linux ===

The VID/PID pair of the lightstone will need to be blacklisted on

linux in order to use liblightstone there.
