Note that Debian and Ubuntu how have packages for concordance and we recommend
you use those instead of installing from source. If you prefer to install from
source, see the instructions below.


==== BASIC INSTALLATION ====

0. INSTALL REQUIRED SOFTWARE

  A. You *MUST* install libusb. This library is in most distributions, so
     apt-get/yum/up2date/urpmi/etc. it.

     If you're compiling from source, you'll also need the libusb development
     package - usually libusb-dev or libusb-devel, depending on your
     distribution.

  B. Install libconcord - also from the concordance project. See the install
     instructions provided with libconcord.


1. BUILD THE SOFTARE

   As a normal user...
     A. ***IF**** You are building from CVS, run:
        mkdir m4; autoreconf --install
     B. Run "./configure"
     C. Run "make"

Various options, such as '--prefix' are available to the configure script to
help you choose where software gets installed and how it is built.

2. INSTALL THE SOFTWARE

As root, simply run "make install"


==== EXTRA INSTALL NOTES ====
By default this program installs in /usr/local/bin. You can override the PREFIX
(/usr/local) by passing a PREFIX variable to make:

  make PREFIX=/usr/

You can override the bin directory by passing a BIN variable to make:

  make BIN=sbin


==== RUNNING THE SOFTWARE IN UNIX ====

Because this software relies on libconcord which uses libusb, it does Direct
IO. That means you must either be root to use it, or you must have the RAWIO
capability.

In addition, libconcord attempts to unbind any in-kernel drivers that may
bind to your remote. However, if it can't, you'll need to unbind them manually.
Check dmesg, if the hid driver attached to your Harmony follow the
instructions here to unbind it:
