Bug 204617 – games-arcade/frozen-bubble requires libsdl be built with joystick support.

• Status: RESOLVED INVALID
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Scott 2008-01-06 16:06:32 UTC]

As of frozen bubble 2.1.0 running frozen bubble fails with
[SDL Init] /usr/bin/perl: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8/x86_64-linux-thread-multi/auto/SDL_perl/SDL_perl.so: undefined symbol: SDL_NumJoysticks

when the nojoystick USE flag has been selected for libsdl. Recompiling without said flag fixes issue

Reproducible: Always

local use flags (searching: nojoystick)
************************************************************
[-    ] nojoystick (media-libs/libsdl):
Allow users to disable joystick support completely (at their own risk)

# WARNING:
# if you have the noaudio, novideo, nojoystick, or custom-cflags use flags
# in USE and something breaks, you pick up the pieces.  Be prepared for

if use noaudio || use novideo || use nojoystick ; then
        ewarn "Since you've chosen to turn off some of libsdl's functionality,"
        ewarn "don't bother filing libsdl-related bugs until trying to remerge"
