#1 Using #define in structures brings bugs

[Anonymous]

I've been using this library at work (v0.4) and I've been very impressed with it, but I had some massive bugs integrating it with existing code, until I discovered that it was compiling with _ENABLE_FORCE and _ENABLE_TILT defined, but my code only defined _ENABLE_TILT (as I wasn't using the force data). As the structure defines members based on these defines, the size of the structure was different between the library and my code, and caused segmentation faults when my other data structures were overwritten.

I'd recommend not removing members by #define. Also, my version of gcc (4.2) complained at linking until I added -fPIC to the compile flags (TEXTREL added or some such in the library).

An excellent library, nevertheless.
