Razer Anansi driver compiling.

[lintwurm]

Hi all,

If this is the wrong place to ask, please move the post
I have a razer anansi keyboard which works very well out the box, I am trying to get the macro buttons to work as well though. If anyone can perhaps help me with this process, it will be greatly appreciated! I did find this article: Norge Linux: Razer Anasi on Arch Linux (Just so you know I’m not completely useless ) When I try to run this part:**cabal update;**the command cabal is not found. I therefor wanted to know if there is a way to get the cabal CLI installed? Sorry if this question is stupid.

I am currently running Opensuse 12.2
Thanks for your time

I kept trying on and off to get the keyboard drivers working with Opensuse and I can finally say I have succeeded!
What I did:

Added a repo:
http://ftp5.gwdg.de/…/openSUSE_12.2/

installed ghc, cabal and libusb.
zypper in ghc cabal libusb (I can’t remember if it was cabal or cabal-install)

I updated cabal by running cabal update cabal-install

then downloaded and installed libusb-10.0.5.tar.bz2

This previous command break certain packages like:
HTTP and some more…

Reinstall these packages

then follow the rest of the commands as specified in the link I provided at the top.

I really hope that is the entire thing!!!
