Hi Thiago,
BTN_TRIGGER_HAPPYxy are a group of kernel #defines, apparently for
drivers not supported by the 2.6 kernels. Here are my dev notes:
... Qt-5.8.0 then compiled against gcc-5.4.0 with only one minor
problem:
qt-everywhere-opensource-src-5.8.0/qtgamepad/src/plugins/gamepads/evdev/qevdevgamepadbackend.cpp
does not compile on CentOS-6.8 (apparently) because the
2.6.32-642.el6.x86_64 kernel is too old
and does not define BTN_TRIGGER_HAPPYn (n=1,2,3,4). On Fedora 25
these are in
/lib/modules/4.9.14-200.fc25.x86_64/build/include/dt-bindings/input/linux-event-codes.h
I patched qevdevgamepadbackend.cpp with those values:
#ifndef BTN_TRIGGER_HAPPY1
#define BTN_TRIGGER_HAPPY1 0x2c0
#define BTN_TRIGGER_HAPPY2 0x2c1
#define BTN_TRIGGER_HAPPY3 0x2c2
#define BTN_TRIGGER_HAPPY4 0x2c3
#endif
directly above QEvdevGamepadDevice::resetConfiguration(), and then
the whole Qt-5.8.0 source compiles
just fine (gcc-5.4.0), although there is a minor issue with final
"make install" with /usr/bin/ld not having permission
to open a file named "terminal". This might not be critical, need to
see. It may be because I paused the
CentOS-6 VM at one point during the build, when it was building on a
partition NFS exported from the host.
HOWEVER, the above #ifndef BTN_TRIGGER_HAPPY1 patch is
unsatisfactory, as it allows
m_buttonsMap[BTN_TRIGGER_HAPPY1] = QGamepadManager::ButtonLeft; etc
assignments to array elements that the kernel probably does not know
about. Far safer to
disable this particular gamepad plugin in
qtgamepad/src/plugins/gamepads/gamepads.pro
I'll probably never need this gamepad controller, and if I ever do,
it won't be on CentOS-6
Thanks again,
Ed

You can't turn C++11 off since 5.7.0.
Thanks. Saved me some time and confusion. I didn't /personally/ wish to
turn off C++11 anyway. I'll try 5.7.0 then against gcc-4.8.2, but am
still interested in a 5.9.0-beta source tarball to test with gcc-5.4.0
and later, if such beta tarball becomes available.
Hello Ed
I have no idea what BTN_TRIGGER_HAPPY is. But you can simply disable qtgamepad
entirely if you don't plan on using it. Either don't download it, or rm -rf
the subdir after you've downloaded it, or pass -skip qtgamepad to the
compilation.
You should also report the failure to built from sources (FTBFS) and indicate
which kernel version your headers are from. Since it's a macro, it is easy to
just #ifdef around its existence. But I don't know whether the developer will
accept the bug or they will say "sorry, your kernel is way too old, try
upgrading".
What kernel is that, BTW?
