Prior to this change, a user had to manually install their own udev
rules on Linux if they wanted to access the joystick without having to
run as root. The most common usecase was on systems based on Debian,
where the user would be a member of the plugdev group, and they would
create their own rule to allow members of the group to write to the
joystick.
This change adds a validated udev rule to the distribution, so if the
user compiles from source and does a make install, the rule to allow
plugdev group members to access the joystick is installed.
This change adds gettext support to libx52 using the Autotools
framework. This should allow translators to translate the error messages
provided by libx52_strerror into their corresponding localized versions.
Prior to this change, the libusbx52 Makefile was manually specifying the
pthread flags to indicate that the linker needed to link against the
pthread libraries.
This change moves the pthread detection logic out to configure.ac, and
updates the flags in libusbx52 Makefile to use the pthread compiler.
- libx52_init returns the libx52_device in an output parameter and
returns a libx52_error_code
- Make all functions return libx52_error_code
- Update package version to indicate incompatible API change
The conversion makes it simpler to allow cross-compilation, since we
should be using the host Python interpreter to build the generated
character map, rather than relying on the automake infrastructure.
