I also had this issue, the patch fixed it for me. I had to apply the patch manually, the patch file didn't like me. :D

[Distant Thunder (temptempor)]

Ubuntu 12.10 is also affected.

[Overlord (christopher-ullrich)]

sorry, i'm new to this. how do you patch this manually?

[Dylan Morrison (insidious)]

Download the patch, copy it to the QtSixA source directory, then run
patch -Np1 -i compilation_sid.patch

that should find and patch the correct files.

-N means apply the patch forward, -p1 means strip the first directory (so that it's not trying to use the .orig/etc bits), and -i specifies an input file.

I'm really struggling with this on my raspberry pi I can't seem to find an answer anywhere in regards to running this patch for the above error.

Does anyone know how to apply the patch on an Rpi?

I'll be eternally grateful for a nudge in the right direction

[falkTX (Old) (falk-t-j)]

Just get the source from latest git and you should be fine
https://github.com/falkTX/qtsixa/

[Justin Rowe (jusrowe23)]

@falkTX YOU SIR ARE A LEGEND!!!!
I copied the files from the link and my PS3 controller is now connected to my RPi :-)

Thank you for your help I'm very very grateful :-)

The patch works on debian 9 so if someone can add it to the qtsixa.

make install-system
make: *** No rule to make target 'install-system'. Stop.
But I do not know what do make install-system usually you only use make and make install.
The apt starts.
