Linux Compilation problem: platform/x11/joystick_linux.cpp:36:21: fatal error: libudev.h: No such file or directory

All my linux builds failed with this error.

platform/x11/joystick_linux.cpp:36:21: fatal error: libudev.h: No such file or directory

I'm compiling on linux with gamepad=no to avoid this issues.

It seems they changed from gamepad to udev

on platform/x11/detect.py:
before:
('gamepad','Gamepad support, requires libudev and libevdev','yes'),
after:
('udev','Use udev for gamepad connection callbacks','no'),

EDIT: This is really strange, it seems the default would be for udev to be no.

on platform/x11/detect.py we got this now:

if (platform.system() == "Linux"):
        env.Append(CPPFLAGS=["-DJOYDEV_ENABLED"])
    if (env["udev"]=="yes"):

It seems to be adding djoydev just because it is linux, regardless if udev is enabled.

EDIT2: Related to #3708

oops, sorry. Forgot to #ifdef the #include <libudev.h>
I'll fix it right away

Thanks!
