Description

What's the problem? Describe what went wrong in few words.

Latest dolphin won't compile, it throws evdev errors whenever I try.

Here's the full message on attempting to compile:

What did you expect to happen instead?|

For Dolphin to compile properly using the same compilation commands I've used for over 2000 revisions.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.Try to compile
2.See errors
3.Cry

Dolphin 3.5 and 3.5-367 are old versions of Dolphin that have
known issues and bugs, so don't report issues about them and test the
latest Dolphin version first.
Which versions of Dolphin did you test on?

4.0-6953

Does using an older version of Dolphin solve your issue? If yes, which
versions of Dolphin used to work?

4.0-6930

What are your PC specifications? (including, but not limited to: Operating
System, CPU and GPU)

Linux Ubuntu 14.10
Intel Core i3-3220 @ 3.3GHz
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 650

Is there any other relevant information? (e.g. logs, screenshots,
configuration files)

The contents of the log files it points to are very long, I'll pastebin them and post a link if it's needed though.

Read the error message.

You'll need libudev-dev and libevdev-dev for controller support. You may also clear the cmake option ENABLE_EVDEV to disable controller support at all.

It would've been nice if the fact that there was a new dependency was actually written somewhere. I assumed since I was compiling with the same script I've used since 4.0-4366 that there was a problem with the cmake.
