General fixes and cleanup
Haste makes waste, and my sleep is all disturbed.

Notable fixes:
 - Windows linking should be completely static,
 - eizoctltray: input port switching was dysfunctional,
 - eizoctl*: some failure messages got eaten up.

USB drivers

usb-drivers is a collection of utilities to control various hardware over USB:

  • eizoctl controls elementary settings of EIZO computer monitors.

    It is intended as a replacement for official EIZO software, and may not run at the same time, as it would contend for device access.

  • eizoctltray is a derived Windows utility that can stay in the systray.

  • elksmart-comm interfaces with ELK Smart infrared dongles, partially reimplementing the Ocrustar mobile app. While it does not build for Windows, this is incidental.

  • razer-bw-te-ctl makes it possible to change the configuration of your Razer BlackWidow Tournament Edition keybooard.

    Make sure to let the Windows Razer Synapse tool upgrade the firmware to the newest version before running the program. There might be some issues otherwise due to protocol changes, although I dont really deem it very probable.

Packages

Regular releases are sporadic. git master should be stable enough.

You can get a package with the latest development version as a Nix derivation.

Building

Build dependencies: CMake, pkg-config, liberty (included), help2man
Runtime dependencies: libusb-1.0 (elksmart-comm, razer-bw-te-ctl), hidapi (eizoctl)

$ git clone --recursive https://git.janouch.name/p/usb-drivers.git
$ mkdir usb-drivers/build
$ cd usb-drivers/build
$ cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug
$ make

To install the applications, you can do either the usual:

# make install

Or you can try telling CMake to make a package for you. For Debian it is:

$ cpack -G DEB
# dpkg -i usb-drivers-*.deb
