You need to install the xtest extension for X11 and its development package. Guess I should mention that in the Readme.

[WilsonBradley]

Thanks , but not sure how to do that. Could you let me know when the Readme is updated? Thanks

Using the legacy Qjoypad and it's limited and when adding it to startup, it starts but do not see the applet on the taskbar, only if I quit and restart qjoypad manually it shows up.

I don't know how to install that package on your Linux distribution. Search your package manager for "xtest" and "xtest develop"/"xtest devel"/"xtest development".

PS: AntimicroX is a better maintained alternative program that does the same kind of job: https://github.com/AntiMicroX/antimicrox

[WilsonBradley]

Thanks for the reply. The tip for AntimicroX seems promising.. appreciate it.

Thanks for pointing out AntimicroX.. I don't think there's an ARM version. (Raspberry Pi) Can't get it installed.

Would be happy with your version if I can get it to compile.

Cheers

Ok, installed Xtest library by (sudo apt-get install libxtst-dev) and successfully compiled and installed qjoypad 4.3 from this git.

However, first installed with working older qjaoypad installed. There after 4.3 version says "No Joystick devices are currently available to configure"

So figured it was because the old was still installed. Uninstalled 4.1 and recompiled installed 4.3 Still not detecting device under 4.3 I reversed and verified, it still works under old 4.1 via apt install

the input dir is /dev/input joystick is js0

Not sure why it's not detecting it.

Maybe because dependencies are missing when manually cmake install ing 4.3 ?

Here's what it looks like when apt installing older 4.1 from repository successfully

You don't even need to install qjoypad, you can just directly run the binary. You can also give an alternate installation prefix by passing -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/my/alternative/path to cmake before compiling. Don't know why the newer version isn't finding the joystick. What does ls -l /dev/input say? It's been so long since I did anything with this that I can't remember anything.

Understand.. I lose memory after not using to.. ;-) Thanks for your help

Here is the output ╮ ╰─ ls -l /dev/input ─╯ total 0 crw-rw----+ 1 root input 13, 64 Jan 9 10:40 event0 crw-rw----+ 1 root input 13, 0 Jan 9 10:40 js0 crw-rw---- 1 root input 13, 63 Jan 9 10:40 mice

Let me know if you want to see paths of the working qjoypad 4.1

[WilsonBradley]

no errors compiling and installing 4.3

This is interesting.. here is after apt install of 4.1 (original working) ╮ ╰─ sudo find -name qjoypad ─╯ [sudo] password for fenix: ./qjoypad ./qjoypad/build/src/qjoypad

This is directories after 4.3 on top of 4.1 cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
