This PR updates the Simple DirectMedia Layer (SDL) library from 1.2 to 2.0.4. SDL is used for cross-platform joystick handling in QGroundControl and upgrading to SDL2 adds new and improved functionality.
It enables the following features to be implemented:
There are a few important consequences of this update as well:
This is a relatively simple PR that shifts over the current functionality, and we will implement the other features in the future.
This has been tested on Mac OSX, Ubuntu 14.04, and Windows 10.
Also note that this update uses the SDL_GameControllerDB source, which is copied into the
resources
folder. This code uses the exact same license as SDL itself and the license text is included in that folder, per license requirements.Please let me know if you have any questions, comments, or concerns about this PR.
