I’m recompiling SDL with the following options:
./configure --prefix=/usr --disable-video-ggi --disable-video-svga
–disable-video-aalib --disable-video-dga --disable-video-x11-dgamouse
However, when I try to to compile anything using SDL, I get this error:
/usr/lib/crt1.o: In function _start': /usr/lib/crt1.o(.text+0x18): undefined reference tomain’
/usr/X11R6/lib/libXxf86dga.so: undefined reference to `atexit’
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
Why does it keep linking to the DGA libraries?

Make sure you run make clean and delete config.cache
The errors look like an old debian sid glibc problem. If you’re running
debian do a upgradeOn Wed, May 09, 2001 at 08:55:40AM -0400, Yacine Salmi wrote:

I tried it with my Suse 7.0 and with and LFS 2.4.4, but the dga stuff was
always linked with SDL. This should be worth a configure.in fix.

DGA mouse is always available, --disable-video-x11-dgamouse just disables
using it by default. I’m adding a new configure option --disable-dga
which will prevent SDL from using DGA at all, either for mouse motion
or for a separate video driver. This will be in the next CVS snapshot.
See ya!

ok, I’m running debian testing (woody) I’ve upgrade the xlibs-dev to
unstable, but I don’t want to upgrade everything to unstable. The only
way I can get rid of that error is if I do a --disable-video-x11.
So, what should I be looking for in configure.in?

Of course, If I disable video-x11, I basically can’t use any video
device. It seems to also disable openGL video even if I explicitely
specify it. I just want to get rid of that dga error. I’m so confused. I
don’t know where to look anymore.

Hmm, that’s very very odd. A few weeks ago I was trying to build SDL for the Agenda VR3, which does not have DGA support compiled for it yet. It seemed kinda fickle about loosing DGA completely, but:
--enable-video-x11 --disable-video-dga --disable-video-x11-dgamouse --disable-video-xv --disable-video-fbcon
did the trick.

Sam,
I tried the cvs package. I still couldn’t manage to disable dga. Do I
need to use some other options on top of --disable-dga?
btw, I just received Tribes 2 for Linux yesterday, and all I can say is
great job! Actually, I do have a question about it. I know that this
isn’t exactly the right forum to ask, but it is relevant to SDL in a
way. Do you happen to know what code Loki is contributing to the V12
release by GarageGames? GarageGames said that the code for Linux will
probably not be available on release. I was just wondering if you would
consider giving the V12 community a hand in making it run when it does
come out.
Thanks,
Yacine Salmi

I know for a fact that the CVS code uploaded an hour ago does honor
the --disable-dga flag. You probably need to unpack it in a fresh
directory and remove any other copies of SDL you may have installed.

That’s all licensing stuff that I don’t have anything to do with.
I don’t know what the official Loki word on it is. Please direct any
future discussion on this topic to the Loki Tribes 2 newsgroup.
