xboxdrv and libx11-dev
trying to get my xbox controller working on arch linux. I got the xboxdrv from AUR but I can't get past the makepkg part.
here's a snippit:
[root@myhost xboxdrv]# makepkg --asroot -s
==> Making package: xboxdrv 0.8.4-1 (Wed Jul 18 22:26:08 EDT 2012)

libx11-dev must be installed!
==> ERROR: A failure occurred in build().
Aborting...
[root@myhost xboxdrv]#
anyone got any ideas?
Re: xboxdrv and libx11-dev
why are you running "makepkg" as ROOT user and using "--asroot" option ? never run it as ROOT user unless you know what you are doing.
running "makepkg -si" can solve your problem about dependencies. If that doesn't work try searching for dependencies in AUR.
Do you have "base-devel" package installed?
Never argue with stupid people,They will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience.

well, during my install i forgot to edit visudo, and long story short, the wheel setting doesn't work properly. makepkg -si should be the same as makepkg -s which i am running. and the base-devel package is installed.
