Logitech Harmony - Need to compile code?

[FiB3R]

I have found some software on SourceForge that I would like to use to program a Logitech Harmony remote.

I think the code for the software needs to be compiled, but I'm not sure.

Would somebody mind having a look for me, and giving me some pointers?

Thanks :)

It's for Linux.

congruity is a GUI application for programming Logitech® Harmony remote controls. congruity builds upon the work of the concordance project, which provides the underlying communication. Please use the concordance project mailing lists.

This software supports programming Logitech Harmony remote controls. While currently in beta, this software already provides most of the functionality of the Windows software provided by Logitech, but is much smaller and cross-platform.

Thanks for replying

Bump!

Yes, the compressed file has the source code. You have to build the solution

[Rob2687]

Doesn't look like there's anything to compile. You might have to run it in Cygwin or MingW or something...

In Linux just do make install and run congruity.

It is python code. Says so on the front page. I downloaded the zip file and the "congruity" file in there is python.

The makefile there seems to do nothing more than copy the needed files into the user's filesystem.

Thank for the replies, but I'm going to need some hand holding here.

1) Download congruity and uncompress to "C:\congruity-9".

2) Download and install Python (2.6), http://www.python.org/download/, Windows Installer. Install to default, "C:\Python26".

3) Download and install wxPython, http://www.wxpython.org/download.php, wxPython runtime for Python 2.6.

4) Download http://www.phildev.net/concordance/ and uncompress to somewhere.

5) If you have Visual Studio (Express edition should be enough) and platform SDK, compile and build "concordance.sln" in "concordance-0.20\win".

(If you don't have VS, use this .dll, built with VS2005, x86.)

6)

Copy "libconcord.dll" from "concordance-0.20\libconcord\win\Debug\libconcord_winhid" to "C:\congruity-9".

Copy "libconcord.py" from "concordance-0.20\libconcord\bindings\python" to "C:\congruity-9".

After copying files:

7)

Start->Run: cmd

And type:

cd \
cd congruity-9
..\Python26\pythonw.exe congruity. file_which_contains_commands

In "file_which_contains_commands" are commands you need to send.

It should start then (hopefully).

Thank you Wilhelmus, I'm going to have to read that a few more times to make sense of it. :)

Edit: OK, please don't flame me for being stupid.

1) Done

2) I already have PythonWin 2.5.1 installed from when I was hacking my n82. Will this do?

3) Is this still needed?

4) Done

5) I don't have Visual Studio or platform SDK, and I'm not sure if I'd know how to "compile and build".

"(If you don't have VS, use this .dll, built with VS2005, x86.)" How would I use that .dll?

6) I do not have the folders "\Debug\libconcord_winhid" inside "\concordance-0.20\libconcord\win" therefore, no "libconcord.dll"

copy "libconcord.py".... Done

7) "In "file_which_contains_commands" are commands you need to send." what commands would I need to send.

Thanks again to everybody for their input ;)

Copy that dll to "C:\congruity-9".

You'll now do all of your Harmony configuring through the Logitech web site and the new software you've just installed. From your browser go to http://members.harmonyremote.com.

You might be told your software needs updating. Skip past that screen.

It doesn't know that you aren't using their Windows software.

Next you'll need to login to their site which will require registering if you already haven't.

Once registered and logged in you're taken to the main Harmony configuration pages.

This howto isn't for teaching you how to use this page.

Use the "Support" link or the Logitech forums for that.

After you've configured some Devices and Activities on this page you can then click the "Update my Remote" link.

The next page that appears will tell you to make sure that your Harmony is connected to your computer via your USB cable.

Ignore the rest of the screen and click next. This will bring up a download dialog.

Download the file and then use "pythonw.exe C:\congruity-9\congruity. C:\path\downloadedfile"

Here is the latest version, all compiled.

You need to run it through Python 2.6.

I have yet to compile it into a .exe

congruity_12.zipFetching info...

[LightIdea]

I can't seem to compile it.

I've used py2exe, cx_freeze and pyInstaller, and it just comes up with a box saying that wxPython is not available, even though it is.

Very confusing. :wacko:

Looks like nobody has any ideas.

No matter what values I try, I just can't do it >_<
