= Setup your computer =

== Fl-AIR directory ==

It is advised to put all Fl-AIR related stuffs in the same directory, for example $HOME/flair:
{{{
$ mkdir $HOME/flair
}}}

Then add an environment variable to your .bashrc with the path of this directory:
{{{
$ nano ~/.bashrc
}}}
and add
{{{
#!sh
# variable for Fl-AIR
export FLAIR_ROOT=$HOME/flair
}}}
reload the script
{{{
$ source ~/.bashrc
}}}

All Fl-AIR documentation, scripts and CMakeLists.txt will use this variable.

== Install packages ==

Install an optional IDE (''Integrated Development Environment''), for example:
 * codeblocks (all Fl-AIR documentation is based on it):
{{{
sudo apt-get install codeblocks codeblocks-contrib
}}}
 * or eclipse:
{{{
sudo apt-get install eclipse-cdt
}}}

__NB__: last codeblocks version has problems with cmake and the code completion plugin. Thus it is recommended to install an older version manually (see next section).

== Codeblocks ==

=== if Codeblocks is slow or crashes ===

It seems that auto completion plugin of Codeblocks (version 12.11 and up) does not work very well with a cmake generated project. 
One solution is to deactivate this plugin, another solution is to install an older version of Codeblocks (10.05), from [http://sourceforge.net/projects/codeblocks/files/Binaries/10.05/ this page].
For example on a 64 bits computer:
{{{
$ cd
$ wget http://sourceforge.net/projects/codeblocks/files/Binaries/10.05/Linux%20%2864%20bit%29/codeblocks-10.05-1-debian-amd64.tar.bz2
$ tar -xjf codeblocks-10.05-1-debian-amd64.tar.bz2
$ cd amd64
$ sudo dpkg -i *.deb
$ cd ..
$ rm -rf amd64 codeblocks-10.05-1-debian-amd64.tar.bz2
}}}

=== environment variables===

When Codeblocks is not launched from command line, it does not read environment variables set in .bashrc.
This can make trouble when a CMakelists.txt is modified for example.

To solve this, go to ''settings/environment'' menu. Choose ''environment variables'' section on the left. Clic on ''Add'' and fill the form:
* key: FLAIR_ROOT
* value: path to the FLAIR_ROOT directory

== Use rtprio ==

In order to use FL-AIR without Xenoami, but with high priorities, you need to be root or to allow your user using the following file:
{{{
$ sudo nano /etc/security/limits.conf
}}}
And add these lines:
{{{
your_user		soft	rtprio		99
your_user               hard    rtprio          99
}}}
where ''your_user'' is your user login. Then logout and login.

== Setup bluetooth for DualShock3 controller (optional) ==

L'utilisation du bluetooth pour la manette n'est pas conventionnelle. Il faut donc faire une modification sur le service bluetooth de Linux. Cette opération n'est à faire qu'une seule fois pour toute:
{{{
$ sudo nano /etc/bluetooth/main.conf
}}}
et ajouter input à la directive !DisablePlugins:
{{{
[General]
# List of plugins that should not be loaded on bluetoothd startup
DisablePlugins = network,input
}}}
Puis redémarrer bluetoothd:
{{{
$ sudo service bluetooth restart 
}}}
