Description David Demelier 2011-04-18 23:37:29 UTC 
On FreeBSD 8.2 amd64 that's what happening when trying to build the src/joystick/bsd/SDL_sysjoystick.c :

libtool: compile:  gcc -g -O3 -I./include -mmmx -msse -msse2 -fvisibility=hidden -I/usr/X11R6/include -DHAVE_USBHID_H -DUSBHID_NEW -D_REENTRANT -D_THREAD_SAFE -MMD -MT build/SDL_sysjoystick.lo -c src/joystick/bsd/SDL_sysjoystick.c  -fPIC -DPIC -o build/.libs/SDL_sysjoystick.o

Can you try with the latest SDL snapshot?
http://www.libsdl.org/tmp/SDL-1.3.zip

I just tried with FreeBSD 8.2 and it seemed to compile just fine.

Can be closed. There was a time delta between the SDL upstream packages and the FreeBSD patches with the new USB stack and has been fixed some time ago.
