Multiple Back-ends

SDL Development
1

I am interested in playing with SDL to try out some other backends. I
have been a fan of the GGI project for quite some time and I think I could
do some neat stuff with aalib. How do I make these particular libraries
my display backend?

I saw their names in the source tree but haven’t figured them out yet.

Thanks
Dave

Run “make distclean; ./configure --enable-video-XXX” where XXX is "ggi"
or “svga” or whatever. You can enable more than one backend at once,
and set the SDL_VIDEODRIVER environment variable to select the one you
want.

See ya!
