Bug 2102

Summary: Hardcoded libudev name prevents hotplugging on some distributions
Product: SDL Reporter: norfanin
Component: joystickAssignee: Sam Lantinga <slouken>
Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE QA Contact: Sam Lantinga <slouken>
Severity: normal    
Priority: P2 CC: gabomdq
Version: 2.0.0   
Hardware: All   
OS: Linux   

Description norfanin 2013-09-17 18:04:08 UTC 
The libudev name that is hardcoded in src/joystick/linux/SDL_sysjoystick.c does not match the one that is present on Arch Linux. It's just libudev.so or libudev.so.1 there. A quick look at Fedora 19 shows that it also has libudev.so.1.

It breaks hotplugging for these distributions.
