If I re-run it without deleting any folders it passes but I am getting linker errors when I try to use it.

Hi,

First of all, thanks for this great library! I'm trying to compile gainput on OSX and I'm hitting an error about headers not being correctly found:

"'gainput/gainput.h' file not found with include; use "quotes" instead"

It seems like you use angled brackets in gainput which Xcode treats as system headers. There's an option called Always Search User Paths (deprecated) that fixes the issue but ideally I wouldn't need to rely on this behavior as it's also marked as deprecated so will disappear in the future.

Thanks!

Hey! I have an error when running the make command in the build folder. I get an error that I should use C++ 11, But i'm unsure how to do this, I read you do it in the Makefile, but how?

from /home/thybe/Desktop/gainput/lib/source/gainput/GainputAllocator.cpp:2:
/usr/include/c++/7/bits/c++0x_warning.h:32:2: error: #error This file requires compiler and library support for the ISO C++ 2011 standard. This support must be enabled with the -std=c++11 or -std=gnu++11 compiler options.
 #error This file requires compiler and library support \

I have a bare bones cocos2d-x 3.9 project. I just noticed that once the running application loses focus, the GetBool() function starts to always return true. This doesn't stop when the application window comes back into focus.

Edit: Okay so heres what I see now. Left mouse actually causes the key left for keyboard input to register. So when I press left mouse button down, I actually get true for GetBool(KeyLeft). And then once the window looses focus, the GetBool(KeyLeft) stays registered as true until the application is closed.

Im using the latest version of gainput. Built on mac OS X 10.11.2.

Heres some snippets of how I'm using gainput.

enum Key
{
    KeyLeft
};

enum Mouse
{
    MouseLeft
};

gainput::InputManager manager;
const gainput::DeviceId keyboardId = manager.CreateDevice<gainput::InputDeviceKeyboard>();
const gainput::DeviceId mouseId = manager.CreateDevice<gainput::InputDeviceMouse>();

manager.SetDisplaySize(visibleSize.width, visibleSize.height);
map.MapBool(KeyLeft, keyboardId, gainput::KeyLeft);
map.MapBool(MouseLeft, mouseId, gainput::MouseButtonLeft);

void HelloWorld::update(float delta)
{
    manager.Update();]

// This returns true when the mouse left key is down. And then always returns true with the application looses focus
    if (map.GetBool(KeyLeft)) {
        log("LEFT");
    }

}

Hey, really liking the library.

I noticed you use a time stamp for recording and playing back input events. While this works for the most part, I don't believe it can achieve true deterministic reliability (for replaying a session). The framework using your library would have to update its state/input at a fixed frequency, which would replace time stamps with a simple integer counter.

I plan on making this change for my engine, but I figured I give you a heads up in case you also wanted to support an integer counter for playback. Don't know when I'll get around to it, but I'll submit a pull if you're interested.

So, I've properly set up gainput into my Qt project, at least mouse and keyboard inputs are recognized by gainput. Now I am trying to bring my joystick to life but without success so far. Now I am wondering, is it even supported in your library? Is a joystick considered a gamepad? :D Your PadButtons enumerations start with 17, though I know my joystick buttons range from 0 - 11. Thanks in advance!

I have built and linked gainput. As soon as I add line: gainput::InputManager input;

I get no warnings/errors, but program crashed right after start. Even a minimal example crashed.

Any ideas would be appreciated!

EDIT: I am using msvc 2013 64 bit

It would be nice to have a section in readme for how to do Windows build. Also, it would be great to include a sample that shows how to select and use joystick if you have multiple ones. The reason this is important is because Unreal engine has a very poor support for game input devices, especially joysticks on Windows, and this library can really help bridge the gap.

Hi, When trying to compile the source for android using instructions in the Readme, I encountered the following error:

"/lib/source/gainput/touch/GainputInputDeviceTouch.cpp:32:6: error: 'variant' was not declared in this scope"

I got it compiled by changing the line:

InputDeviceTouch::InputDeviceTouch(InputManager& manager, DeviceId device, unsigned index, DeviceVariant /variant/) :

to:

InputDeviceTouch::InputDeviceTouch(InputManager& manager, DeviceId device, unsigned index, DeviceVariant variant) :

Am I right to uncomment variant?

I am currently building a tiny game engine, and chose gainput for the input. The engine gets compiled to a dll, which is then linked against and used by a little test game. However, when i have the input system enabled (and link the dll against gainputstatic.a with -lgainputstatic). My library stops "working:" i get tons of undefined reference erros on the linking stage, which are not directly related to gainput, but are related to my engines internal classes and functions: C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe /C C:/TDM-GCC-64/bin/mingw32-make.exe -j8 SHELL=cmd.exe -e -f Makefile "----------Building project:[ cysslib_test - Debug_win64 ]----------" mingw32-make.exe[1]: Entering directory 'C:/Users/Daniel Wanner/Documents/Projekte/C++/cysslib/cysslib_test' C:/TDM-GCC-64/bin/g++.exe -c "C:/Users/Daniel Wanner/Documents/Projekte/C++/cysslib/cysslib_test/src/MyGame.cpp" -g -pg -Wall -m64 -std=c++11 -lOpenCL -o ./bin/Debug/win64//src_MyGame.cpp.o -I. -I../cysslib/include -I./include C:/TDM-GCC-64/bin/g++.exe -c "C:/Users/Daniel Wanner/Documents/Projekte/C++/cysslib/cysslib_test/src/main.cpp" -g -pg -Wall -m64 -std=c++11 -lOpenCL -o ./bin/Debug/win64//src_main.cpp.o -I. -I../cysslib/include -I./include C:/TDM-GCC-64/bin/g++.exe -o ./bin/Debug/win64//cysslib_test @"cysslib_test.txt" -L. -L./bin/Debug/win64/ -L../cysslib/bin/Debug/win64/ -lcysslib -pg -O0 ./bin/Debug/win64//src_main.cpp.o: In functionmain': C:/Users/Daniel Wanner/Documents/Projekte/C++/cysslib/cysslib_test/src/main.cpp:9: undefined reference to cyss::GameWindow::GameWindow(std::__cxx11::basic_string<char, std::char_traits<char>, std::allocator<char> >, unsigned int, unsigned int)' C:/Users/Daniel Wanner/Documents/Projekte/C++/cysslib/cysslib_test/src/main.cpp:10: undefined reference tocyss::SimpleRenderer::SimpleRenderer(unsigned int, unsigned int)' C:/Users/Daniel Wanner/Documents/Projekte/C++/cysslib/cysslib_test/src/main.cpp:11: undefined reference to cyss::Texture2D::Texture2D(unsigned int, unsigned int, bool)' C:/Users/Daniel Wanner/Documents/Projekte/C++/cysslib/cysslib_test/src/main.cpp:12: undefined reference tocyss::Texture2D::loadFile(std::_cxx11::basic_string<char, std::char_traits, std::allocator >)' C:/Users/Daniel Wanner/Documents/Projekte/C++/cysslib/cysslib_test/src/main.cpp:13: undefined reference to cyss::GameWindow::show()' C:/Users/Daniel Wanner/Documents/Projekte/C++/cysslib/cysslib_test/src/main.cpp:14: undefined reference tocyss::GameWindow::shouldClose()' C:/Users/Daniel Wanner/Documents/Projekte/C++/cysslib/cysslib_test/src/main.cpp:16: undefined reference to cyss::GameWindow::update()' C:/Users/Daniel Wanner/Documents/Projekte/C++/cysslib/cysslib_test/src/main.cpp:17: undefined reference tocyss::GameWindow::clear()' C:/Users/Daniel Wanner/Documents/Projekte/C++/cysslib/cysslib_test/src/main.cpp:18: undefined reference to cyss::SimpleRenderer::reset()' C:/Users/Daniel Wanner/Documents/Projekte/C++/cysslib/cysslib_test/src/main.cpp:20: undefined reference tocyss::SimpleRenderer::drawTexture(cyss::Texture2D, float, float, float, float)' C:/Users/Daniel Wanner/Documents/Projekte/C++/cysslib/cysslib_test/src/main.cpp:22: undefined reference to cyss::GameWindow::swapBuffers()' C:/Users/Daniel Wanner/Documents/Projekte/C++/cysslib/cysslib_test/src/main.cpp:11: undefined reference tocyss::Texture2D::~Texture2D()' C:/Users/Daniel Wanner/Documents/Projekte/C++/cysslib/cysslib_test/src/main.cpp:10: undefined reference to cyss::SimpleRenderer::~SimpleRenderer()' C:/Users/Daniel Wanner/Documents/Projekte/C++/cysslib/cysslib_test/src/main.cpp:9: undefined reference tocyss::GameWindow::~GameWindow()' C:/Users/Daniel Wanner/Documents/Projekte/C++/cysslib/cysslib_test/src/main.cpp:11: undefined reference to cyss::Texture2D::~Texture2D()' C:/Users/Daniel Wanner/Documents/Projekte/C++/cysslib/cysslib_test/src/main.cpp:10: undefined reference tocyss::SimpleRenderer::~SimpleRenderer()' C:/Users/Daniel Wanner/Documents/Projekte/C++/cysslib/cysslib_test/src/main.cpp:9: undefined reference to cyss::GameWindow::~GameWindow()' collect2.exe: error: ld returned 1 exit status mingw32-make.exe[1]: *_\* [bin/Debug/win64//cysslib_test] Error 1 cysslib_test.mk:78: recipe for target 'bin/Debug/win64//cysslib_test' failed mingw32-make.exe[1]: Leaving directory 'C:/Users/Daniel Wanner/Documents/Projekte/C++/cysslib/cysslib_test' mingw32-make.exe: **\* [All] Error 2 Makefile:4: recipe for target 'All' failed ====18 errors, 0 warnings====

These undefined reference errors dont occur when not enabling the input system, and thus not linking against gainput.

Cool project! Is it possible to programmatically trigger input events, such as a mouse click or key press? My use case is to listen for user input events, and then be able to replay those same input events programmatically. Also, is it possible to trigger input events directly (from a mouse, keyboard or gamepad) without the first step of listening for them?

Per the docs, I noticed one of the features is "Supports recording and playback of input sequences", and I wanted to make sure I was understanding that correctly. Thanks!

As mentioned in issue #78, it is not possible to generate the project in CMake if either GAIN_BUILD_SHARED or GAIN_BUILD_STATIC is disabled while generating the project. This pull request fixes this issue by relying on the BUILD_SHARED_LIBS built-in option in CMake. The gainputstatic project should not be necessary if we rely on the fact that the user can switch between the shared and static variants by specifying the BUILD_SHARED_LIBS option accordingly.

Surprising that I haven't seen this issue reported yet, but if I disable "GAIN_BUILD_SHARED" I get the following error when trying to configure the project with CMake:

CMake Error at lib/CMakeLists.txt:40 (target_link_libraries):
  Cannot specify link libraries for target "gainput" which is not built by
  this project.

Which makes sense since the "gainput" target shouldn't be created if "GAIN_BUILD_SHARED" is disabled.

Similarly, if I disable "GAIN_BUILD_STATIC" I get the following error when trying to configure the project with CMake:

CMake Error at lib/CMakeLists.txt:41 (target_link_libraries):
  Cannot specify link libraries for target "gainputstatic" which is not built
  by this project.

Which also makes sense because the "gainputstatic" target shouldn't be created if "GAIN_BUILD_SHARED" is disabled!

Currently I find the MappedInputListener to only call the registered callback functions when the state of the button changes. Is there a way to force an input event from the MappedInputListener even when a key is repeating?
