By default SDL will only link against glibc, the rest of the features will be
|
|
enabled dynamically at runtime depending on the available features on the target
|
|
system. So, for example if you built SDL with Xinerama support and the target
|
|
system does not have the Xinerama libraries installed, it will be disabled
|
|
at runtime, and you won't get a missing library error, at least with the
|
|
default configuration parameters.

Build Dependencies
|
|
================================================================================
|
|
|
|
Ubuntu 13.04, all available features enabled:
|
|
|
|
sudo apt-get install build-essential mercurial make cmake autoconf automake \
|
|
libtool libasound2-dev libpulse-dev libaudio-dev libx11-dev libxext-dev \
|
|
libxrandr-dev libxcursor-dev libxi-dev libxinerama-dev libxxf86vm-dev \
|
|
libxss-dev libgl1-mesa-dev libesd0-dev libdbus-1-dev libudev-dev \
|
|
libgles1-mesa-dev libgles2-mesa-dev libegl1-mesa-dev
|
|
|
|
Ubuntu 14.04 can also add "libwayland-dev libmirclient-dev libxkbcommon-dev"
|
|
to that command line for Wayland and Mir support.
|
|
|
|
NOTES:
|
|
- This includes all the audio targets except arts, because Ubuntu pulled the
|
|
artsc0-dev package, but in theory SDL still supports it.
|
|
- DirectFB isn't included because the configure script (currently) fails to find
|
|
it at all. You can do "sudo apt-get install libdirectfb-dev" and fix the
|
|
configure script to include DirectFB support. Send patches. :)

Joystick does not work
|
|
================================================================================
|
|
|
|
If you compiled or are using a version of SDL with udev support (and you should!)
|
|
there's a few issues that may cause SDL to fail to detect your joystick. To
|
|
debug this, start by installing the evtest utility. On Ubuntu/Debian:
|
|
|
|
sudo apt-get install evtest
|
|
|
|
Then run:
|
|
|
|
sudo evtest
|
|
|
|
You'll hopefully see your joystick listed along with a name like "/dev/input/eventXX"
|
|
Now run:
|
|
|
|
cat /dev/input/event/XX
|
|
|
|
If you get a permission error, you need to set a udev rule to change the mode of
|
|
your device (see below)
|
|
|
|
Also, try:
|
|
|
|
sudo udevadm info --query=all --name=input/eventXX
|
|
|
|
If you see a line stating ID_INPUT_JOYSTICK=1, great, if you don't see it,
|
|
you need to set up an udev rule to force this variable.
|
|
|
|
A combined rule for the Saitek Pro Flight Rudder Pedals to fix both issues looks
|
|
like:
|
|
|
|
SUBSYSTEM=="input", ATTRS{idProduct}=="0763", ATTRS{idVendor}=="06a3", MODE="0666", ENV{ID_INPUT_JOYSTICK}="1"
|
|
SUBSYSTEM=="input", ATTRS{idProduct}=="0764", ATTRS{idVendor}=="06a3", MODE="0666", ENV{ID_INPUT_JOYSTICK}="1"
|
|
|
|
You can set up similar rules for your device by changing the values listed in
|
|
idProduct and idVendor. To obtain these values, try:
|
|
|
|
sudo udevadm info -a --name=input/eventXX | grep idVendor
|
|
sudo udevadm info -a --name=input/eventXX | grep idProduct
|
|
|
|
If multiple values come up for each of these, the one you want is the first one of each.
|
|
|
|
On other systems which ship with an older udev (such as CentOS), you may need
|
|
to set up a rule such as:
|
|
|
|
SUBSYSTEM=="input", ENV{ID_CLASS}=="joystick", ENV{ID_INPUT_JOYSTICK}="1"
|
|
