The linux-js port is marked as broken on FreeBSD 9.x stable.
So it can't be easily installed.

As far as I understand, on FreeBSD (as well as NetBSD and OpenBSD) all USB-input devices are handled within the uhub/uhid module. There is also no special device-file for Joysticks (like /dev/input/jsX on linux). Thus there is also no special JoystickAPI available. The Joystick Interface should rather be adressed by using the USB-HID API  (bsd jstk.c).

I'll take a look into that.

Hi everyone, hello Laurent,

I'd like to bring this thread up again, since I tried to build SFML2 on FreeBSD 9.0 recently.

I still get a bunch of errors from JoystickImpl.cpp saying that a bunch of variables have not been declared
(::open, O_RDONLY, F_SETFL and so on ).

Is there some progress considering the Joystick issues on FreeBSD? I'd also like to offer my help if needed.

Thanks a lot.
