Hi,
I am trying to port SDL2 to a X11-less device. I went berserk and added
a “fbdev” video backend (which doesn’t have much to see with fbdev
actually, it’s more a wrapper around EGL with a hardcoded 320x240 mode).
See https://github.com/pcercuei/SDL2
My problem is that if I configure SDL2 to use evdev but without libudev,
I don’t receive any events.
Looking at src/core/linux/SDL_evdev.c it makes sense since device
structures are added to the linked list “_this->first” only if
SDL_USE_LIBUDEV is set.
It would be nice to either provide an alternative to udev (by scanning
/dev/input/eventX for instance) or to make the selection of evdev
require libudev.
Regards,
Paul
Yup, having evdev require udev is probably reasonable at this point.

I’m with Sam on that front. Joysticks, for one, don’t work as
expected on Linux without udev. At this point I consider the
non-udev path to be about the same as mingw32 (non mingw-w64)
toolchain builds: It ought to compile, but SDL is going to be
crippled by your build choice.

hi i have some questions:
do you build SDL2 withjout udev and have (apart of joistickl) working devices if are already detected?
