System: NetBSD prometheus 1.6 NetBSD 1.6 (GENERIC) #0: Sun Sep 8 19:43:40 UTC 2002 autobuild@tgm.daemon.org:/autobuild/i386/OBJ/autobuild/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/GENERIC i386
Architecture: i386
Machine: i386
...the above doesn't really matter; but the relavent machine
is an AMD64, not this i386. (^&
>Description:
NetBSD/amd64 has a joy(4) interface and man-page, but lacks
/usr/include/machine/joystick.h
This causes, e.g., freeglut to fail to compile.
>How-To-Repeat:
Install NetBSD/amd64 and look for "joystick.h".
>Fix:
Due to the closeness of the architectures, and the desirability of
a common API, I assume that the i386 header provides all that is
required. It should suffice to just copy the header over.
I do not actually have a joystick, so I cannot comment on whether
this causes code to abuse the interface.
