SDL 1.3 Builds Without Haptic

I have successfully compiled SDL 1.3.0-5498 for MinGW. When I try to initialize SDL I get the following error:

Code:
SDL not built with haptic (force feedback) support

When I configured for the install I left “–enable-haptic” at its default which was “yes”. It seemed to build fine but the error code tells me that it was NOT built with haptic. Do I need to disable haptic during compile because I don’t have the DirectX headers?------------------------

It’s probably because you’re using SDL_INIT_EVERYTHING, and everything isn’t
available. :)On Sun, Mar 20, 2011 at 2:33 PM, Deluge wrote:

What does include/SDL_config.h show for haptic support? If you left the
defaults, in theory it should enable the haptic system without any haptic
drivers, which is legal.On Sun, Mar 20, 2011 at 2:33 PM, Deluge wrote:

Ouch! “Everything” really ought to be defined contextually as “everything that
was actually built into the library.” Otherwise it’s kinda meaningless…________________________________
