      HOW TO INSTALL
***************************
TODO! More detail (on the way)

The gist of it:

1) install and set up basic developer tools, git as well as golang on your RPi
   e.g. on Arch ARM:
   $> sudo pacman -S base-devel git go
   
   be sure to export GOPATH and add $GOPATH/bin to your PATH; e.g.
     $> mkdir ~/mygo
     $> echo "export GOPATH=~/mygo" >> ~/.bashrc
     $> echo "export PATH=$PATH:$GOPATH/bin" >> ~/.bashrc
   
   log off and on again for GOPATH changes to take effect
   
2) fetch gorf24 using 
   $> go get github.com/galaktor/gorf24 (you will get an "ld" type error; ignore!)
3) $> cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/galaktor/gorf24
4) $> chmod +x build.sh
5) $> sudo ./build.sh
6) you might have to add /usr/local/lib to your /etc/ld.so.conf file (see below)
7) include gorf24 in your golang source code as usual, i.e. 'import "github.com/galaktor/gorf24"'
8) Accessing GPIO on Rpi requies elevated permissions, so it makes sense to build normally ("go build")
   then run the executable as sudo, i.e.
   $> go build mycode.go
   $> sudo ./mycode
   If you do not use sudo, you will get segfaults and panics

(Tested on an overclocked (900 MHz) Model A RPi running Arch Linux for Rpi/ARM.)

Note that this is project is in progress, and the golang or ansi C wrapper haven't been fully tested yet.
Basic send/receive testing has occured, but many functions might have bugs.
Please log any issue you might find and I will try to address it when I get a chance!
Or even better, fork and contribute, that would be much appreciated.

***************************
ADD /USR/LOCAL/LIB LDCONFIG
***************************

On Arch ARM for RPi, /usr/local/lib had to be added to ld.so.conf in order for golang to find the librf24*.so files at runtime.
you can check if the librf shared objects are detected by running:

$> ldconfig -v | grep librf

If the result is empty, then you need to add /usr/local/lib to /etc/ld.so.conf so that the golang runtime will detect the librf libraries.
NOTE: despite the "include ld.so.conf.d/*.conf" line in /etc/ld.so.conf, adding such a file had no effect. Needed to add directly to
ld.so.conf!

### 1. Open /etc/ld.so.conf with a text editor:
$> sudo nano /etc/ld.so.conf

### 2. Add the line "/usr/local/lib" and save (in nano, "Ctrl+X", "Y" then "Return")

### 3. Run ldconfig to update
$> sudo ldconfig

### 4. Verify detection of librf* shared objects using ldconfig
$> ldconfig -v | grep rf
   	    librf24.so.1 -> librf24.so.1.0
	    librf24_c.so -> librf24_c.so



***************************
         TODOS
***************************
* Makefiles instead of shell scripts
* maybe better way of installing via go get?
* more testing of correct wrapping, data types etc
* branch that includes verified-working snap of RF24-rpi
* download with RPi binaries for armv6?
