What is the best library to manage a wiimote?

Question

There are many libraries that manage the wiimote but I am looking for the "best" one, or at least that has the following features:

open-source
portable (at least Win32 and Linux)
written and usable in c or c++
good coverage of wiimote devices

I rely on people that already used such library. Google is good source of information but it doesn't know which one is best library.

if you will use multiple wiimotes, don't use wiiuse library. i am working on a stereo system with two wiimotes using wiiuse library but wiiuse made me crazy( it gives delayed ir tracking data ) and i decided to change my library wiiuse from wiiyourself

Some friends of mine have had good luck with wiiuse. It's in C, for both Windows and Linux.

Have you seen this:

It may not be exactly what you are asking for, but with Mono you'll have the cross platform part of it.

the second one is for C# and VB.NET :( – Franck Freiburger Jul 16 '09 at 13:57
and the first one too :( – Franck Freiburger Jul 16 '09 at 13:58
thanks for the downvote. Why can't you use C++ to access it? – Tim Jul 17 '09 at 22:16
Tim, you've mentioned that you can use Mono to compile. And you can reference from pretty much anything. I think that downvote was unfair. – Hooloovoo Jul 21 '09 at 12:29
Thanks Brian, It's all part of the game I guess. – Tim Jul 21 '09 at 12:43

I think this might be what your looking for:

http://wiiuse.sourceforge.net/

Open-sourced, multi-platform and written in C/C++. They are looking for a OSX developper though, so I'm guessing it doesn't support it yet.

Maybe https://github.com/MJL85/wiiuse will do? Seems to have a lot of features and supports Windows and Linux, AND it is c.
