      4 By default SDL will only link against glibc, the rest of the features will be
      5 enabled dynamically at runtime depending on the available features on the target
      6 system. So, for example if you built SDL with Xinerama support and the target
      7 system does not have the Xinerama libraries installed, it will be disabled
      8 at runtime, and you won't get a missing library error, at least with the 
      9 default configuration parameters.

     16 Ubuntu 20.04, all available features enabled:
     17 
     18 sudo apt-get install build-essential mercurial make cmake autoconf automake \
     19 libtool libasound2-dev libpulse-dev libaudio-dev libx11-dev libxext-dev \
     20 libxrandr-dev libxcursor-dev libxi-dev libxinerama-dev libxxf86vm-dev \
     21 libxss-dev libgl1-mesa-dev libdbus-1-dev libudev-dev libgles2-mesa-dev \
     22 libegl1-mesa-dev libibus-1.0-dev fcitx-libs-dev libsamplerate0-dev \
     23 libsndio-dev libwayland-dev libxkbcommon-dev

     25 NOTES:
     26 - This includes all the audio targets except arts and esd, because Ubuntu
     27   (and/or Debian) pulled their packages, but in theory SDL still supports them.
     28 - libsamplerate0-dev lets SDL optionally link to libresamplerate at runtime
     29   for higher-quality audio resampling. SDL will work without it if the library
     30   is missing, so it's safe to build in support even if the end user doesn't
     31   have this library installed.
     32 - DirectFB isn't included because the configure script (currently) fails to find
     33   it at all. You can do "sudo apt-get install libdirectfb-dev" and fix the 
     34   configure script to include DirectFB support. Send patches.  :)

     41 If you compiled or are using a version of SDL with udev support (and you should!)
     42 there's a few issues that may cause SDL to fail to detect your joystick. To
     43 debug this, start by installing the evtest utility. On Ubuntu/Debian:
     44 
     45     sudo apt-get install evtest
     46     
     47 Then run:
     48     
     49     sudo evtest
     50     
     51 You'll hopefully see your joystick listed along with a name like "/dev/input/eventXX"
     52 Now run:
     53     
     54     cat /dev/input/event/XX
     55 
     56 If you get a permission error, you need to set a udev rule to change the mode of
     57 your device (see below)    
     58     
     59 Also, try:
     60     
     61     sudo udevadm info --query=all --name=input/eventXX
     62     
     63 If you see a line stating ID_INPUT_JOYSTICK=1, great, if you don't see it,
     64 you need to set up an udev rule to force this variable.
     65 
     66 A combined rule for the Saitek Pro Flight Rudder Pedals to fix both issues looks 
     67 like:
     68     
     69    SUBSYSTEM=="input", ATTRS{idProduct}=="0763", ATTRS{idVendor}=="06a3", MODE="0666", ENV{ID_INPUT_JOYSTICK}="1"
     70    SUBSYSTEM=="input", ATTRS{idProduct}=="0764", ATTRS{idVendor}=="06a3", MODE="0666", ENV{ID_INPUT_JOYSTICK}="1"
     71    
     72 You can set up similar rules for your device by changing the values listed in
     73 idProduct and idVendor. To obtain these values, try:
     74     
     75     sudo udevadm info -a --name=input/eventXX | grep idVendor
     76     sudo udevadm info -a --name=input/eventXX | grep idProduct
     77     
     78 If multiple values come up for each of these, the one you want is the first one of each.    
     79 
     80 On other systems which ship with an older udev (such as CentOS), you may need
     81 to set up a rule such as:
     82     
     83     SUBSYSTEM=="input", ENV{ID_CLASS}=="joystick", ENV{ID_INPUT_JOYSTICK}="1"
