So I’ve been spending my day setting up a prebuilt retropi image on a raspberry pi to use my ps3 controller (again) with this device instead of my kodi htpc.
All the guides I read indicated I should download and compile this http://sourceforge.net/projects/qtsixa/files/QtSixA%201.5.1/QtSixA-1.5.1-src.tar.gz
but would sadly always result in this:
pi@raspberrypi ~/QtSixA-1.5.1/sixad $ make

So I set about to figure this one out.
A few sources said to use the git version of qtsixa instead, I noticed it hasn’t been updated in years but seems more up to date than the prezipped version from the website.
Tried to build that.. had a bunch of errors.

Sooooo something called pyuic4 was missing… found this forum post http://gis.stackexchange.com/questions/65520/make-pyuic4-command-not-found
sudo apt-get install pyqt4-dev-tools qt4-designer libjack-dev
the libjack-dev isn’t from the original post but install it now anyways … your going to need it.
I had installed pyqt4-dev-tools qt4-designer without libjack-dev and got this build error

Perhaps you should add the directory containing `jack.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable

After installing libjack-dev everything built without problems, did a sudo make install and it all works nicely.
