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)

if use noaudio || use novideo || use nojoystick ; then
