More clear README.md file

[benna100]

Hey

Thanks for creating this. It is exactly what i am looking for!

I simply could not follow/did not understand your installation step:

• "# make" - Nothing happens when i type this. No file created, no error
• /op/bin does not exists on my raspbian
• Copy the configuration script to /etc/jslisten.cfg - i dont know what the configuration script is? Maybe the binary that was created using # make

I'm not the strongest Linux user but not a total novice either. Is it possible to be a bit more clear in the directions?

@benna100 : I can recommend to follow some tutorials how to build/compile/install from source code in debian/linux environment.

The best approach would be to create an installation script so this manual steps are not required anymore. If someone would like to create one and submit a pull request, I would happily merge it.

@benna100 --

from you home directory (~/) or /tmp or wherever you want to drop the repo

git clone https://github.com/workinghard/jslisten.git
cd jslisten
make

this should, grab the repository, change directory into it, and do the build. From there

sudo mkdir -p /opt/bin
sudo cp /bin/jslisten /opt/bin/

this should copy the binary to the above location. You need to create the config file

• Run bin/jslisten once to create ~/.jslisten config file or cp utils/jslisten.cfg /etc/ or create/edit however you want (example is below)

where bin/jslisten is the binary you created.

It gets a bit odd here, as there are potential two places for the config either in your home ~/.jslisten as a dot file or in /etc/ as jslisten.cfg .. this is a preference I believe at this point.

Whats really important, and now starts to get into deeper Linux that we can't really help here (as its user/desire specific) is WHAT goes into the config and the custom commands its to perform.

[Generic]
program="/opt/bin/modeSwitcher.sh"
button1=10
button2=11
button3=0
button4=

Now we start to get even deeper into Linux by enabling the service

sudo cp utils/jslisten.service /etc/systemd/system
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl start jslisten.service
sudo systemctl enable jslisten

This will enable the service to start, and by default listen for Joystick 0
