joystick emerge log

[Comment 2 Mr. Bones. (RETIRED) 2005-08-21 13:50:05 UTC]

your system looks out of date.  emerge -vuD world and try merging joystick
again.  Works fine for me with the latest stable packages.  reopen if it's still
a problem.

erm not so sure ... looks like those MCS defines were only fully defined in
linux 2.6.9

[Comment 4 SpanKY 2005-08-22 20:17:52 UTC]

added a patch which defines the defines if they arent already defined :P
