So we use Steve Backer's joystick library when possible, +and fall back to GLUT for win32 until Steve's library adds win32 +support. + +To make sure joystick support is included when building under Linux: + + - make sure you have the proper joystick module installed. + - make sure the proper devices are created in /dev. + - /usr/include/linux/joystick.h must exist on your system. -- 2.39.5
