As in the title, compiling the dedicated server build fails on Debian 13.1 when setting DEDICATED=1 with linker errors:

DEDICATED=1 make -j4

....

Linking lsrb2kartd.debug...
/usr/bin/ld: ../make/linux/64/Dedicated/debug/objs/./m_menu.o: in function `M_Ticker':
/home/kart/SRB2Kart-Saturn/src/m_menu.c:1706:(.text+0xa65e): undefined reference to `I_HandleControllerHatRepeat'
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
make[1]: *** [Makefile:384: ../bin/debug/lsrb2kartd.debug] Error 1

Skipping DEDICATED=1 flag lets it compile just fine:

make -j4

...

Linking lsdl2srb2kart.debug...
=== Build is done, look for lsdl2srb2kart at /home/kart/SRB2Kart-Saturn/bin/debug ===
make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/kart/SRB2Kart-Saturn/src'

Tested on a clean clone of the latest Saturn branch commit (84a3503)

It seems that src/dedicated/i_video.c does not define I_HandleControllerHatRepeat properly (or really, at all).
By following the same idea as other functions there and simply defining it as an empty function:

void I_HandleControllerHatRepeat(void)
{

}

the linking process succeeds:

Checking dependency files...
-- dedicated/i_video.c ...
-- comptime.c ...
Linking lsrb2kartd.debug...
=== Build is done, look for lsrb2kartd at /home/kart/SRB2Kart-Saturn/bin ===
make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/kart/SRB2Kart-Saturn/src'

So it seems it should be an easy fix (i hope :) )

Whoops yea small oversight when the Controller Fixes were merged, just can be an empty function since its not needed for dedi
Will push a fix in a moment
