About

Spacenav daemon interactive configuration program.

Compatibility

The current version of spnavcfg works with spacenavd v1.0 or higher (requires a spacenavd which speaks the spnav protocol v1).

This break in compatibility is necessary because the new protocol allows spnavcfg to act as a regular libspnav client and send configuration commands through the spacenavd socket, instead of having to modify /etc/spnavrc and send SIGHUP to the daemon, as was the old mode of operation.

This is a huge security improvement, as it makes it no longer necessary to install spnavcfg as setuid-root, and frankly much less clunky and error-prone. Plus it opens the way for a new and improved GUI with much more functionality and user feedback.

Therefore, you are advised to update your spacenavd to the latest version if at all possible. If you can't update spacenavd, the last version of spnavcfg which will work with older versions of the daemon is 0.3.1.

Installation

First make sure you have the dependencies installed:

libspnav v1.0 or higher
Qt 5 (core, gui, and widgets).

To build just run ./configure, make, and make install as usual. The make install part will probably need to be executed as root, if you're installing system-wide.

For build options, see ./configure --help.
