Newbie - Fbcon only compile

Okay, this is probably flame bait but I’m looking for a method to
compile an application using the fbcon driver. I’m building an embedded
app and I don’t have the room for the X11 drivers at this point.

I’ve tried compiling the optimum demos and they work on fbcon but they
have been ld’ed to the /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so & libXext.so libs.

Could someone point me in the right direction? What am I missing?

Try this:
make distclean
./configure --disable-video-x11
make
make install

You should get a version of SDL that has no X11 dependencies.

See ya!
