[Plib-devel] Fwd: [PATCH] Joystick under Windows 7

[John F. F. <joh...@cy...>]

Gentlemen,

         I am putting the following patch into SVN right about 
now.  It fixes the joystick behavior under Windows 7.

Since we're all waking up from hypersleep:

Has anyone managed to port PLIB to the iPhone?

Unfortunately, the patch had a minor problem: the active widget was also
scrolled when the mouse wasn't hovering over it, which is bad. Find an
improved version attached.

Yes, and mouse scrolling for puaList is something that I've definitely missed in the past. Thanks!

Hi,

the attached patch implements mouse up/down scroll events for puaList 
and puaLargeInput (which need it the most). Other widgets may follow
later (combobox, slider).

puaList simply calls the arrow button's callbacks for scroll events.
In the case of puaLargeInput this is a bit more complicated, as this
widget doesn't use regular arrow buttons.

m.



Resending, because I chose the wrong sender address first.  :-)

PS: The scroll step size isn't configurable -- it's the same as a
    "line step". Also, holding the shift key down doesn't increase
    the step size ATM.

[Plib-devel] patch for src/js/jsMacOSX.cxx that fixes segfault on fgjs.

[Tatsuhiro N. <tat...@gm...>]

Hi,

I found a bug in jsMacOSX.
fgjs, a joystick utility that comes with FlightGear, crashes on Mac OS X in jsJoyStick.rawRead().
The cause is that fgjs calls jsJoystick.rawRead() with buttons = NULL, but there's no NULL check for buttons in the method.

Attached is a patch for fixing this issue.
As long as I've tested on my end, it works fine. 

Best,

Tat

[Plib-devel] patch for building samples on OpenSolaris 2009.06

[Paulo L. <pm...@gm...>]

The Attachment allows the samples to build under Opensolaris with
SunStudio or GCC

in order to link with SunStudio it is required that the configure
script is invoked like this:

CC=cc CXX=CC LDFLAGS=-lsocket -lnsl ./configure

I don't know much about autoconf maybe someone else could look into it.

Although it all compiles and links the audio examples don't work, it
looks like it is related with the DSP code but I'm totally new to
Solaris and don't know what could be wrong.

Re: [Plib-devel] configure fails GL test due to dependency on libXiand libXmu

[Fay, J. F Dr C. U. A. 46 S. <joh...@eg...>]

OK, I've put that change into SVN.  It's revision 2157.

Interestingly, the examples don't build "right out of the box."  It
can't find "freeglut" on my system.  That's probably a local problem to
me.

Works here as well, but several people have reported this problem and

Re: [Plib-devel] configure fails GL test due to dependency on libXi and libXmu

[Matthew T. <tip...@gm...>]

Yes I do now.

The issue is that if you do not have the development versions of the
libraries, the test app used for testing GL fails due to a lack of
libXi and libXmu.

You should be able to repeat the issue by removing the development
versions of those libraries.

the latest SVN version and am presently building it from scratch; I have
passed the "./configure" step and did not see any error messages about
"libXmu" or "libXi".  Do you have those two libraries on your system?
My system has them in the "/usr/lib" directory.

It seems that Microsoft no longer (Vista and maybe XP) places the
joystick OEMName in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, causing "getOEMProductName" to
fail. Instead, the joystick name can be found in HKEY_CURRENT_USER.

The attached patch has been tested on Windows XP and Windows Vista
with "JS_demo.exe" from the FlightGear project. If it fails to read
the value from HKLM, it attempts to read it from HKCU. I do not have
access to Win2k or 9x versions for testing.

[Plib-devel] [Patch] Re: joystick OEMName fix for Windows XP/Vista

[Reagan T. <tho...@gm...>]

I apologize for not putting [Patch] in the subject line previously.
The attached patch is to allow plib to correctly return the joystick
OEMName when "getOEMProductName" is called under Windows Vista.

This patch is to jsWindows.cxx which causes (in my tests) the joystick
OEMName to be properly returned by "getOEMProductName" in both Windows
XP and Vista. In my tests today, under Windows XP SP3, both the last
release plib "getOEMProductName" and the latest from trunk with the
attached patch return the proper OEMName for my Saitek joystick. Under
Windows Vista, plib trunk only returns the correct value with the
attached patch applied. I am still unable to test under Windows 2000
or earlier.

DDS is a relatively new Microsoft format that handles DXTn compressed
textures and oddball stuff like cube-maps.   There isn't a PLIB loader
for it - although one could be written in principle.   The usual problem
with Microsoft formats is that they are typically not decently
documented because Windows users just call a built-in Windows function
to load them.   Since PLIB demands portability - we can't support
anything like that unless we can support it on at least Windows, Linux
and Mac.

Xavier,

Jari,

	I have put your changes into SVN.  I took the liberty of changing the 
warning message slightly so that we would not have two identical messages 
for different conditions.  Please check my changes and make sure that they 
work for you.

Subject:	[Plib-devel] [patch] Improved joystick support for MacOSX

Hi,

To get my joystick (Saitek Cyborg Evo Force) to work with flightgear on
my mac I made the plib changes outlined in the attached diff file.

The issue resolved is that my joystick/mac mixes usage pages
kHIDPage_GenericDesktop	and kHIDPage_Simulation for axises. The
suggested code change treats the two usage pages similarly. In the
original code the Simulation usage page is treated as "weird" according
to the error output.

Can someone with subversion write credentials please review my additions
and apply the patch into the subversion repository if you the suggested
improvements useful.


Thank you,

Jari

[Plib-devel] joystick OEMName fix for Windows XP/Vista

[Reagan T. <tho...@gm...>]

It seems that Microsoft no longer (Vista and maybe XP) places the
joystick OEMName in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, causing "getOEMProductName" to
fail. Instead, the joystick name can be found in HKEY_CURRENT_USER.

The attached patch has been tested on Windows XP and Windows Vista
with "JS_demo.exe" from the FlightGear project. If it fails to read
the value from HKLM, it attempts to read it from HKCU. I do not have
access to Win2k or 9x versions for testing.

Thanks.
