Dear forum,
I have spent a frustrating couple of days trying to get a working SDL for Android and hoping someone might be able to help.
My final aim to compile an existing application (which already builds for Linux, Windows and OSX), for, ideally ICS. It uses SDL 1.2 [.10]. I would like to use native development, not an IDE. For the time being I’m happy to get the simplest of example code running.
My list of attempts:
(1) I first found http://jiggawatt.org/badc0de/android/index.html as it refered to SDL-1.2.13 and seemed easy enough to follow. the libSDL.a built fine, but when I try to link this with a sample.c I ge a whole bunch of ‘undefined references’
/home/files/android/SDL-1.2.13/src/SDL.c:101: undefined reference to SDL_StartTicks' /home/files/android/SDL-1.2.13/src/video/SDL_video.c:273: undefined reference toFBCON_bootstrap’
seeing that other ports of SDL seem to have better android hardware support I decided to abandon here.
(2) http://wilbefast.com/2011/07/29/sdl-for-android-in-10-drunken-steps/ refers to http://www.libsdl.org/tmp/android-project.zip so I tried this and successfully build both the libSDL and the sample ‘aliens’ test.
running on my Android device [Transformer Prime] bombs out with…
E/SurfaceTexture( 112): [SurfaceView] connect: already connected (cur=1, req=1)
E/libEGL ( 7606): EGLNativeWindowType 0xb46a68 already connected to another API
E/libEGL ( 7606): eglCreateWindowSurface:368 error 300b (EGL_BAD_NATIVE_WINDOW)
E/SDL ( 7606): Couldn’t create surface
I/>>> ERROR( 7606): Couldn’t create OpenGL context - see Android log for details
(3) reading that there might be issues with OGL_ES2, I set changes the SDL_android_config.h to
#define SDL_VIDEO_RENDER_OGL_ES2 0
this builds, but on the Transformer it bombs after loading the data files (see dump below)
(4) trying the same android-project on Android3.1, gives another coredump (see below)
(5) hg clone -u SDL-1.2 http://hg.libsdl.org/SDL SDL-1.2
… no sign of any android support
(6) hg clone -u SDL-1.3 http://hg.libsdl.org/SDL SDL-1.3
… no sign of any android support
(7) hg clone http://hg.libsdl.org/SDL
Ah! android-project et al…
followed through the README
No sign of SDL_mixer, or SDL_image so not a great start, also,
“WARNING: This code is under construction, may not build, and is unstable!”
and it’s SDL 2.0 and I don’t even really want to move to SDL 1.3
so abandoned and now hoping someone can help.----------------------------------------------------------------------
