Docker-based build script

[git-developer]

I'm interested in an improvement of motion control in the retro-gaming distribution batocera. The Cemuhook protocol seems to be the best choice currently, because some emulators lack SDL motion support (e.g. Cemu - thanks for your active support). I've thrown together a working proof-of-concept, available as batocera-extra; there's a lot of work left, but linuxmotehook2 is a helpful part for the integration of Wimotes (documentation).

batocera is based on buildroot and does not contain a build toolchain or package manager. Thus, linuxmotehook2 binaries are built separately and bundled with batocera-extra. To simplify this procedure, I wrote a little script which may be run on any Debian-compatible architecture, having Docker as its only dependency. Once you re-enable CI, it could possibly save you some work.

Thanks for linuxmotehook2 and your efforts in making motion control for Wiimotes work on Linux!

P.S.: this issue is meant as notification only, feel free to close it anytime.

Nice to know this, thanks! I don't think that script will end up being helpful to me when implementing CI, but it's neat to have it nonetheless.

Also, I got around to release version 0.1.5 - it's a pretty minor bugfix release, but you might want to switch to it.

FYI - Cemu itself does support SDL motion, it's that SDL2 on Linux omits HIDAPI backend by default due to its conflicts with kernel-level drivers without supporting motion from kernel-level drivers (yuzu overrides this default). Worse yet, wiimote's driver does its own thing when it comes to motion due to being developed before proper motion input protocol was.

Just for future reference - this kind of conversation is better suited for github discussions than issues.

Thanks a lot for your feedback! Didn't know about GitHub discussions, just the right thing for my intent. You apparently have a lot of experience in this motion control area - thanks for sharing!
