Cabal flag for wiimote dependancies?

[tbelaire]

I'd like to compile and run this, but setting up cwiid seems like a pain. I'm going to add a flag so you can do something like cabal configure --no-cwiid or something and get a working version without that dependency.

That would be great, thanks! Especially for windows people or those who don't have a wiimote anyway.

For linux guys and, especially, deb-based distros, cwiid should not be a pain. You just need to install the *-dev libraries and it works with the latest hcwiid. Also, HN uses Fedora, and it works just fine there. He just needed to install a few C libraries before hcwiid.

I’m on OSX, and I didn’t see it on homebrew, so I knew it would have some effort to install, but it might work.
I might also contact them and see if I can get it on homebrew.
