This patch adds support for using beep on a Raspberry Pi, using an old BIOS speaker or piezo buzzer attached to its GPIO PWM pin.

When not running as root, ugly system() calls are used to call the gpio binary included with wiringPi. Note that this is significantly slower, as the binary needs to be called 5 times for each tone! You might be better off running beep as suid.

The original Makefile has been replaced with a Makefile.in to accommodate the conditional compilation with wiringPi support.

Build with ./configure && make.

This patch adds support for using `beep` on a Raspberry Pi,
using an old BIOS speaker or piezo buzzer attached to its
GPIO PWM pin.

to call the `gpio` binary included with `wiringPi`. Note that
this is significantly slower, as the binary needs to be called
5 times for each tone! You might be better off running `beep`
as `suid`.
