Bug 3138

Summary: c_dfDIJoystick2 already defined in dinput8.lib
Product: SDL Reporter: Machiel van Hooren <machiel>
Component: joystickAssignee: Sam Lantinga <slouken>
Status: RESOLVED FIXED QA Contact: Sam Lantinga <slouken>
Severity: normal    
Priority: P2

Description Machiel van Hooren 2015-10-07 14:37:35 UTC 
In SDL_dxjoystick.c line 349 there is a constant c_dfDIJoystick2.
However, this constant is aparently also defined in dinput8.lib.

I encountered a linking error when statically linking to SDL:
SDL2_static.lib(SDL_dxjoystick.obj) : error LNK2005: _c_dfDIJoystick2 already defined in dinput8.lib
My application is also linking to dinput8.lib because we rolled our own joystick input and are not using the joystick functionality from SDL.

Renaming the constant in SDL_dxjoystick.c fixed the problem.

Sounds like the constant was directly copy pasted from some windows source file/header.
