Segmentation faultGrrr. Can you give me a login on your system?
Sure I’ll mail directly…

I’ve put the SDL-0.6e.tar.gz in the dir.

Umm… what are you doing wrong??? Did you forget to run /sbin/ldconfig or
something
Not that I know of.
For reference, today, I tested 0.6e on the LinuxPPC box at work, and it
ran fine. (And half of the staff at work tripped out on the warp demo
Well, I’d be tripping too…

Yuck. It looks like compiler or linker (most likely linker) bugs.
Michael has egcs/ld:
gcc version egcs-2.90.25 980302 (egcs-1.0.2 prerelease)
GNU ld version 2.8.2 (with BFD 980130)
They’re newer than yours and probably contains many bugfixes.
I’d recommend installing them, and trying again.
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0x31842878 in SDA_BASE ()
(gdb)
Again it appears to be a problem with the dynamic linking.
sigh
I’m creating a static library and putting it in my home directory
so you can at least have something to play with until you try the
newer compiler.
Make sure you add -DSDL_FUNCTION_DEFS to the compiler flags, otherwise
your programs will die trying to dereference the function addresses. 
So:
gcc -o app app.c -L/home/slouken -lSDL -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lX11 -lXext -DSDL_FUNCTION_DEFS
See ya!

Try out warp in SDL-0.6e/examples/warp/
Cool! I’ll port our demo to SDL soonish. first I gotta learn all it’s
features.
btw, what was wrong?

That’ll teach me not to read all my mail before replying…

I’m back!
Just give me a quick update on the state of the PPC version:
- Does it work using X ?
- Can we link it dynamically ?

Yes. Asynchronous events are disabled in the PPC version.

Yes, with a recent version of the egcs compiler (Dec. 1997, I believe)
You’ll notice it compiles with a neat switch -DFORK_HACK
heh.
I’m working on SDL 0.6h which completely reorganizes the surface and
video driver levels to make it easier to port and a more extendable,
so if you’re going to work on a port, please wait for it.
See ya!

Great!

Yes

Yes, and I can compile it(my egcs was a broken release), we’ve got audio
and stuff.
Would you like me to send you the complete list of what has been said?
Also, There is now gamma fading support, are you still interested in a
direct hardware version?

Yes… it didn’t work staticly either, it was just closer…
The problem was threads support.
