Keyboard to JoyStick Mapping

[roberco]

Hi,

Do you know any software other than Joy2Key that I can use to map the keybboard to a joystick? I downloaded Joy2Key but couldn't compile it. I couldn't find the config file after unpacking the joy2key file.

Thanks in advance,

I'm running Fedora 16x64

There is qjoypad which will also need compiling on fedora

http://qjoypad.sourceforge.net/#download

You will need qt-devel as a dep.

You will need to explicitly state the path to qmake - due to fedora's ming wrapper with:

./config --qmake4bin=/usr/bin/qmake-qt4

Additionally the makefile may need a tweak with:

...
LIBS          = $(SUBLIBS)  -L/usr/lib -lXtst -lQtGui -lQtCore -lpthread -lX11
...

due to a XtestSomethingorOther missing/misplaced library

I modified the Makefile as you suggested and ran make. But I got the following errors.

g++ -c -pipe -O2 -g -pipe -Wall -Wp,-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -fstack-protector --param=ssp-buffer-size=4 -m64 -mtune=generic -O2 -Wall -W -D_REENTRANT -DDEVDIR="/dev/input" -DICON24="/usr/local/share/pixmaps/qjoypad/icon24.png" -DICON64="/usr/local/share/pixmaps/qjoypad/icon64.png" -DQT_NO_DEBUG -DQT_GUI_LIB -DQT_CORE_LIB -DQT_SHARED -I/usr/lib64/qt4/mkspecs/linux-g++ -I. -I/usr/include/QtCore -I/usr/include/QtGui -I/usr/include -I. -Itrayicon -I. -o axis.o axis.cpp

That will be the libSomethingOrOther that's missing

You need the libXtst-devel pkg.

# yum install libXtst-devel

Then run

make clean

to tidy up the failed compilation then

make

to recompile

:EDIT: I'm on x86 so cannot really help further wil x64 specific issues as I don't have an 64 bit install to try them on at the mo
