John -
I'm looking at the USB code in "jsBSD.cxx" to see if we
can drop the dependency on 'libusb', but, to my understanding,
the intent in Solaris is to use libusb for such things. From the
'ugen' (USB generic driver) man page:
"...libusb(3LIB) uses ugen to access devices that do not contain
drivers such as digital cameras and PDAs. Refer to
/usr/sfw/share/doc/libusb/libusb.txt for details"
I'm also working on picking up more information about the joystick
from the USB report descriptors.
I'll try to have this posted in the next couple of days.
Thanks for the response.
- Mark

Martin (and others), I've taken a look at the Solaris joystick code and noticed, as Mark Villa pointed out in his note, that it uses "libusb". The "include" file "driverSolaris.h" also includes "/usr/sfw/include/usb.h" which appears to be simply another manifestation of "libusb". But the question comes up, particularly for Steve Baker: Do we want a "libusb" dependency in PLIB? It strikes me that "libusb" should be fairly widespread, since USB devices are now found all over the place. But I would like to wait for Steve's sayso before I put the change in. - John -----Original Message----- From: Martin Spott Sent: Friday, September 14, 2007 7:13 AM To: pli...@li...

To quote Admiral Farragut in Mobile Bay (during the American Civil War),
"Damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead!" ("Torpedoes" was what they
called naval mines at the time, and two other ships had just been sunk
by mines.)
If we are going to get a release out in two weeks, we'd better get busy.
I'll see what I can do tonight; any help from other people would also be
appreciated.

OK, this is starting to look like a bit of a goat-rope. Apart from the
"jsSolaris.cxx" and the previously-noted driver files ("driverSolaris.cxx"
and "driverSolaris.h"), I now find that we will need to include a "ujbf"
file for every specific joystick product. Three are already included, but
how many dozen are not included and will need to be? This could get very
messy very quickly.

I see. If the author of this patch, Mark Francis Villa, is unable to
respond in time, then it's certainly better to get a release out that
does not include this patch,
Martin.
