Compiling SDL_TTF ends with errors

SDL Development
#1

Hi,

I get errors when compiling SDL_TTF, because I need “SDL_ttf.a”.
I use “MinGW-3.1.0-1.exe”, “MSYS-1.0.10.exe” and “msysDTK-1.0.1.exe”.

When I do a “./configure” all is fine, but when I do a “make” then I get
the following:
$ make
makefile:208: warning: overriding commands for target .s.o' makefile:205: warning: ignoring old commands for target.s.o’
makefile:227: warning: overriding commands for target .s.lo' makefile:224: warning: ignoring old commands for target.s.lo’

./libtool: eval: line 2: syntax error: unexpected end of file

Try `rm --help’ for more information.
c:\mingw\bin\make.exe: *** [SDL_ttf.lo] Error 1

Has somebody a clue, what went wrong ?

Greetings

Someone I know wants to receive timer events in the SDL event queue
(like the windows WM_TIMER message) instead of using callbacks.

Essentially my idea is just to assign a callback behavior that pushes
some sort of timer event into the SDL event queue.

How can I go about doing this? Is there an SDL_PushEvent() routine
somewhere? Also, what value for SDL_Event::type should I use? I assume
that if I wanted to push a “custom” event structure that was both A) No
bigger than the current SDL_event structure ; and B) the type value
doesn’t “run over” another SDL_Event::type enumeration, then it should
be possible.

Any advice?

Take a look at http://www.libsdl.org/cgi/docwiki.cgi/SDL_5fUserEvent,
which explains how to push user defined events onto the event queue.

Hope you find this relevant and useful,

You mean like SDL_PushEvent()? http://sdldoc.csn.ul.ie/sdlpushevent.php

Sounds very relevant! Thanks!On Sep 23, 2004, at 2:45 PM, Martin Storsj? wrote:
