Test joystick support on Ubuntu OS

[Florian Roth]

Joystick support works fine under Windows XP.

Figgure out if it works under Ubuntu OS.

I got the following error when I scan for Joysticks:

19:48:59,603 WARN GameControllerDeviceManager:72 - Game controller library failed to initialize, returning 0 game controllers.
java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError?: /home/flosk8/workspaces/wsJacavi/JACAVI/libs/libjjstick.so: /home/flosk8/workspaces/wsJacavi/JACAVI/libs/libjjstick.so: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64 (Possible cause: architecture word width mismatch)

maybe its the wrong .so maybe its an so for 64 Bit OS?

Could you please check this out and give me the ticket back.

Yeah, that sounds very much like it.

To confirm, please do a "file libjjstick.so". You probably get something about an "ELF 64-bit shared object".

Guess we'll have to build the lib ourselves then. Download ​the archive, extract it (completely) and run "make" in the linux/ subdirectory. I tried building it in a VM and it worked immediately (well, I already had Java installed and I needed to get gcc and g++). The result will end up in the lib/ subdirectory, not in linux/!

I attached the version I built to this ticket, but it's probably better if you build your own:

root@ubuntu804desktop:/home/user/Desktop/joystick/lib# file libjjstick.so.0.7
libjjstick.so.0.7: ELF 32-bit LSB shared object, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), not stripped

native joystick library, built on a Linux VM

New commit by froth (revision [217]):
[Related to ticket #72] replaced the libjjstick.so with the reight one for 32 Bit OS

Now everythiong works fine.

[Florian Roth]

Works fine now.
