Today was monumentally successful as I not only compiled MPX, but also compiled blob support, and even interfaced it with my slightly buggy blob tracking code. The result was the capability to pass blob input to MPX via webcam, which is exactly what I had hoped for. (To test it I was actually using the red laser from the mouse =P.)
While this sounds wonderful, it was actually quite a hack, so there is still much work to be done. When I get it working reasonably well I plan on running a fresh install of Ubuntu or Debian and figuring out exactly what packages are required. Of course I will also put up source code when that is properly organized and implemented.
On a related note, I managed to compile the MPX branch of metacity being worked on by Paulo Zanoni. Unfortunately I found it more buggy than running MPX with the vanilla Metacity, so I didn't actually use it for testing.
Anyways theres still not much to show, hopefully in the coming weeks I will have a working video demonstration.
