1. Managing a joystick with Euphoria on Linux - Example ?
Hi
I'd like to manage a joystick with Euphoria (+ GUI stuff) on *Linux*.
I only found Freeglut for this on Linux, the rest seems Windows/DOS specific.
However I did not find any example to use it for joystick especially.
Does anyone has an example for Linux please ?
Thanx
Tom

Hi,
You should try SDL_Wrap for Linux from the archive (the author is Mark Akita).
I've tried it now and works right even with joystick.

Thanks !
Is it "compatible" with GUI (eugtk) use ?
In the past I got problems in other language (PyGTK + SDL) with event listening
and GUI main call.
Thx.

I don't know what problem you had but I think you can startup the
Joystick subsystem of the SDL library and leave the other subsystems down.
To integrate the joystick in the gtk event loop you could use a timer and,
within the callback, you can call SDL_JoystickUpdate to fetch the joystick
status.
If you want I can send to you the example I've written: it's a simple window
that show the axis status of the first joystick.
