DMX4Linux is a Linux software package that provides drivers for DMX devices.
The installation process for DMX4Linux is straightforward. Simply run the commands "./configure" and "make", then type "make install" and "make devinodes" as root to create device inodes in the /dev directory. Note that if your system uses udev, you can skip the "make devinodes" step.
If you encounter issues while compiling the "dmxconsole" application in the tools/ directory, it may be due to the missing ncurses development files. In this case, you can install them using a command such as "apt-get install libncurses5-dev". Additionally, if you experience difficulties compiling the drivers due to missing headers, try using a command like "apt-get install kernel-build-2.4.27-2".
The latest release of DMX4Linux is the first to support Linux 2.6 kernels. However, it is important to note that not all drivers have been ported to this version yet. Overall, DMX4Linux offers an accessible and versatile option for DMX control on Linux systems.
