Building from Source

See also: Dependencies

There is also the option of building and installing the driver from source. Before doing so, you'll need to install a number of build dependencies. Use the appropriate command below:

Distro	Commands
Fedora, Red Hat, Mageia	sudo yum install gcc xorg-x11-util-macros xorg-x11-server-devel libXext-devel libXi-devel libXrandr-devel libXinerama-devel libudev-devel
Ubuntu, Mint, Debian	sudo apt-get install autoconf pkg-config make xutils-dev libtool xserver-xorg-dev$(dpkg -S $(which Xorg) | grep -Eo -- "-hwe-[^:]*") libx11-dev libxi-dev libxrandr-dev libxinerama-dev libudev-dev
Arch Linux, Manjaro	sudo pacman -S --needed --asdeps base-devel xorg-server-devel xorg-util-macros xorgproto libxinerama libxrandr libxi

To build a development version of the driver (e.g. if a developer has instructed you to test a version of the code), you will also need to install your distribution's "git", "automake", and "autoconf" packages.

With all the build dependencies installed, you should now obtain a copy of the source code. Unless you are building a development version, you should download the latest xf86-input-wacom release and extract it to a convenient location. To build a development version, please instead use the specific "git clone" command provided by the developer.

At this point you should open a terminal, navigate to the extracted or cloned directory, and copy/paste the following commands to build and install the driver:

set -- --prefix="/usr" --libdir="$(readlink -e $(ls -d /usr/lib*/xorg/modules/input/../../../ | head -n1))"
if test -x ./autogen.sh; then ./autogen.sh "$@"; else ./configure "$@"; fi && make && sudo make install || echo "Build Failed"

Unless the above commands printed out a "Build Failed" message, the driver was successfully installed. You can continue to the post-install steps below. Otherwise, please contact the linuxwacom developers for support.

Post-Install

In order to begin using the driver, you will need to log out so that the Xorg server can restart. In addition, it may be necessary to configure X before you can use your tablet; see the [[configuring X]] page for more information.
