Just can't stay away

Evil Rich has updated SDL!

The latest SDL (v1.2.11) can be found at this url:
http://www.rcdrummond.net/sdl/index.html

a small error (if you don't intend to use crosscompilers)
change the paths in the libSDL.la files to
/SDK/Local/newlib/lib and /SDK/Local/clib2/lib

Thank you very very much for this one Rich!
I am putting it through some tests right now! :D

There's also path errors in:
/SDK/Local/Newlib/bin/sdl-config
/SDK/Local/Clib2/bin/sdl-config

change:
prefix=/usr/local/amiga/ppc-amigaos/SDK/local/clib2
prefix=/usr/local/amiga/ppc-amigaos/SDK/local/newlib

to:
prefix=/SDK/local/clib2
prefix=/SDK/local/newlib

that should fix it.

@spotUP

Which is preferable: the clib2 or the newlib build?

@PEB

If you have a chooce use newlib as its faster and smaller exe's.. but clib2 have more functions so thats why more linux ports use clib2

depends on the project.
i always try to build a newlib build first, if that fails,
i try a clib2 build. answer, both are prefered, so install both.

maybe u have the time to celebrate this new sdl by porting the new SuperTux update? (its a major update too).

I would have done it if i had the time, anyway i will do it asap if you wont but that may take a while :I

anyway, thanks to Evil Rich for the SDL update!

My daughter loves SuperTux, can't get her away from it! Any chance of implementing full screen instead of window?

Cheers

It already supports fullscreen. Just go into options and enable it.

[edit]

Some interesting "debug" output:

Datadir: data/supertux
Warning: Could not open joystick -1.
The Simple DirectMedia error that occured was:
There are 5 joysticks available

AFAIK I have only 1 joystick connected. Maybe a problem with the SDL it uses.

So what happened to the dynamic library version Mr Drummond was supposed to release "soon" some months back? Problems? No time to develop?

Quite a regular

@samwel

Rich has asked us to post this reply on his behalf:

Quote:

There are many reasons why a shared library version of SDL for AmigaOS 4.0 has not been released yet, three of which include:

1) It required an update of newlib.library which only became available publically with OS4.0 final.

2) I spent a lot of time that I didn't have to spare trying to make overlay support on Radeon cards work. Which would you rather have? A shared version of SDL or to be able to watch movies smoothly in DvPlayer or whichever is the
media player of your choice.

3) I have a wife, children and a house to pay for, none of which are currently funded by developing for AmigaOS 4.0.

@ToAks

no troll IHMO but people must understand that the developer "race" has a life too.. and not always is possible to spend all time to develop. and remember that this is not our work, but only an hobby..

@afxgroup et al
This is something I feel strongly about. I use my A! by grace of such people and comapanies current and past.

I just put up another post and hope people will read it because all these issues are related.

How long do we go before our developers give in and move main stream. We have to do better. There are ways whcih should be discussed and at least this site permits that without interferrence.

I don't think Samwel is a troll but I think he forgot how to use the donate button on Richard's web site to ask that question. When you use PayPal it gives you a little box where you can send a message to the receiver. (hint hint)

Here is a link for those that missed it and note the PayPal donate button on the left hand side:

Thanx for the update Rich! Greaty appreciated! You hang in there man! Your code is appreciated!
I mean, without you, there would only be 500 files on os4depot by now. ;)

Yes, three valid reasons.

@Toaks, afxgroup

My question was not an attack at Mr Drummond. I simply remember him posting on AW that the dynamic SDL library was almost finished a while back. Therefore just wondered what happened to the release.
I know very well that he does the OS4 work on his spare time. As most developers.

@ssolie

That's true. I will see what I can do about donating some money later this month.

Harry
