How to configure Qjoypad?

Question

I followed the steps on this page but when I run make it gives me this error:

/usr/bin/ld: keycode.o: undefined reference to symbol 'XKeycodeToKeysym'
/usr/bin/ld: note: 'XKeycodeToKeysym' is defined in DSO /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libX11.so.6 so try adding it to the linker command line
/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libX11.so.6: could not read symbols: Invalid operation collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

`

Have you got all the build dependencies installed, e.g `libx11-dev`, etc. — , Apr 13 '13 at 21:21
I've just compiled successfully on Xubuntu 12.04; my instructions seem to be fine. Check again whether you have all the build dependencies installed. — , Apr 13 '13 at 21:28
yup, I've got them all. I tried again, and it said the same thing, I also noticed that it was saying this, too: `error.h:8:13: warning: 'void error(QString, QString)’ defined but not used [-Wunused-function]` — TheBlackUnicorn, Apr 13 '13 at 21:42

This is an Ubuntu thing, works fine without it in Debian Stable. So might effect Mint too.

Add -lX11 in the Makefile to the LIBS line under the LFLAGS line so it should look like this when your done.

For 64bit:

LIBS = $(SUBLIBS) -L/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu -lXtst -lQtGui -lQtCore -lpthread -lX11

For 32bit:

LIBS = $(SUBLIBS) -L/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu -lXtst -lQtGui -lQtCore -lpthread -lX11

They changed the way they compiled to be more exact and broke code from what I get. This worked fine with the exact error on 64bit Ubuntu thanks to someone on the web I found. Every time you run the ./config or ./configure it will remake the Makefile and you have to edit it again.

The Keyboard is dead, Long live the Keyboard. :P

Note: if you are following the [Arc Synthesis OpenGL tutorial](http://www.arcsynthesis.org/gltut/), you might get the error described in the original question on Ubuntu. To fix it, just open the target makefile (such as `Tut 01 Main.make`), go down to the `LIBS` section under `debug` and `release`, and add `-lX11`. That should fix it. — fouric, Nov 27 '13 at 18:07

This looks more like a problem with your X11 library.

Just reinstall X11 library

sudo apt-get autoremove libx11-6

and then

sudo apt-get install libx11-6

I did that, and then `make` and then this happened `usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu -lXtst -lQtGui -lQtCore -lpthread /usr/bin/ld: keycode.o: undefined reference to symbol 'XKeycodeToKeysym' /usr/bin/ld: note: 'XKeycodeToKeysym' is defined in DSO /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libX11.so.6 so try adding it to the linker command line /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libX11.so.6: could not read symbols: Invalid operation collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status make: *** [qjoypad] Error 1` – TheBlackUnicorn Apr 13 '13 at 22:05
Did that solve your problem? – thefourtheye Apr 13 '13 at 22:06
No, it did not. – TheBlackUnicorn Apr 13 '13 at 22:15
Wasn't trying to sound rude there, I had to fulfill the 15 character minimum – TheBlackUnicorn Apr 13 '13 at 22:15
No probs... I updated the answer now, can you please try that? – thefourtheye Apr 13 '13 at 22:20
just did, still to no success :( – TheBlackUnicorn Apr 13 '13 at 22:23
`error.h:21:13: warning: ‘void debug_mesg(...)’ defined but not used [-Wunused-function] /usr/bin/ld: keycode.o: undefined reference to symbol 'XKeycodeToKeysym' /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libX11.so.6: could not read symbols: Invalid operation` – TheBlackUnicorn Apr 13 '13 at 22:24
There will be a file called config.log. Can you please share that? And are you sure /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libX11.so.6 file exists? – thefourtheye Apr 13 '13 at 22:26
I don't have the /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libX11.so.6 file, and I don't have the config.log one either. – TheBlackUnicorn Apr 13 '13 at 22:33
Can you try this command? `ldconfig -p | grep -in x11` – thefourtheye Apr 13 '13 at 22:39
I found it, actually. I uninstalled `libx11-dev` and reinstalled it. It exists – TheBlackUnicorn Apr 13 '13 at 22:44
Cool. Try the same configure and make drill, as mentioned above – thefourtheye Apr 13 '13 at 22:45
It's still saying the same things – TheBlackUnicorn Apr 13 '13 at 22:49
Would you mind showing me, each and every command you execute in the process of installing, along with the output? – thefourtheye Apr 13 '13 at 22:52
Sure, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1vDYTutJLxo – TheBlackUnicorn Apr 13 '13 at 23:52
Can you please try to reinstall libx11 as shown in the answer? – thefourtheye Apr 14 '13 at 02:44
Sure thing. I just need to finish with software updates – TheBlackUnicorn Apr 14 '13 at 02:52
