Ok I have to do some work in linux for a project. And I need to use a joystick, I found some drivers and an example program which seems to be all i need. but ill be damned if i know how to install them.

The readme has some nice instructions but they are in linux speak, I cant seem to get it right. can someone please translate this into english for me.

they are as follows

¨To compile the utilities in the joystick package, and the driver itself,
as a standalone module, you first unpack the package, and then edit the
Makefile to meet your needs (namely whether are you using versioned
modules). You will also need an unpacked and configured

make config

kernel in

/usr/src/linux

Furthermore, if you're using versioned modules, you'll also need

make dep

done on the kernel, to create some needed files.

After that, you compile the joystick driver

make

And after that you install it

make install

In case you have not used the driver before, you'll need to create the
joystick device files in /dev so that applications can use them:

make devs¨
