I had to install the wiringPi library (you should mention that in the
README), and then alter the makefile (-lobjc causes make to fail) and
remove the joystick references in ninepin.c (because it relies on
/usr/src/linux/include/linux/asm, which doesn't exist in my distribution
for some reason).

Then it compiled.

And now for a newbie question on linux hacking:

How do I run this thing?  Running 'sudo ./ninepin' results in an error,
because it can't open /dev/iec8 ("no such file or directory").

So do I need to create /dev/iec8?  And do I use something like MAKEDEV or
mknod, or something else?
