Cross compiling SDL to win32 - nice!

SDL Development

Hello!

I have just been able to sucessfully crosscompile a lot of
the demos from Linux to NT without any problems. This is
really really nice! :slight_smile:

However none of them emmitted audio-waves… I tried the
aliens demo and I did recompile the mixer library. There
were no errors and the DPLAY_MOD flag was set, but no
audio :frowning: I don’t think audio is strictly necessary for
the small project I’m doing, but it sure would be cool :slight_smile:

Also - one more question:
I noticed the cross-compiler was named something with i686.
I have a plain Pentium 166Mhz and it works here, but how
far down the x86 processor family does the compatibility go?

You have surely done some really cool work here :slight_smile:

I just found out that it is vital… :-/

It should work. Do you have the same problem on other machines?

I just sent the aliens demo to one of my friends. He didn’t get
any audio either. He could play the wav-files in Windows (as I can)
but no audio on the demo.

With pre-compiled binaries?

Do you mean for the demos?

I use a precompiled SDL-0.9.9 for win32 (GCC).
I crosscompiled from Linux using the precompiled
compiler you recommended. I compiled by doing
make target=win32 I didn’t set any other flags
but I noticed that the -DPLAY_MOD was set during
compilation.

Are there any messages in stderr.txt?

Nothing there.

Could it be because I compile it from Linux without
having installed audio-drivers? I think it would
be strange if that was the problem.

And I’m still interested in knowing about binary
support for x86… Will it run on a 486? Or maybe
the audio doesn’t work because I only have a Pentium? :slight_smile:
