Libartsc?

SDL Development
1

Hi,
I just ran ldd on one of my SDL programs (then all of them) and found
that libartsc.so.0 is linked in. The only reference I could find to that
is in the KDElibs package. Why on earth is that being linked in?
I wanted to be able to provide binaries for my Tutorshooter and
Draglight programs, but requiring KDE for and SDL apps seems a little
extreme.

That’s a sound server system (think ESD) used for KDE. It is useful when
running the KDE WM, but certainly not required. I suppose you could get rid
of this message by removing SDL’s support for artsd via configure, or you
could distribute source.–

Thanks, I’ll take a look at the config script. I do distribute source
(well before I took my website down), but I think alot of people will
find binaries as an option to be more convenient.
