SDL_image - 1.2.7 works, anything later gives an error

Is there more information needed, or has no-one seen this problem, or am I being particularly stupid in asking this question? :slight_smile:

You should be more specific on what works where
i am on the same boat as you as far as iphone is concerned, because latest
sdl_image throws an error after the loading stage, in the main loop. I
couldnā€™t debug it out though.
my error is a division by zero, whatā€™s yours?

I gave all the apparently needed information in the first post of the thread on these forums at libsdl.org. Iā€™m building a project that, with SDL_image 1.2.7 on OS X 10.6 with XCode 3.2.1 using GCC 4 and the 10.4 SDK, works. Updating to anything later than 1.2.7 doesnā€™t give any indication of issues during compile time, but when the app is run, it crashes out with a ā€˜Blit combination not supportedā€™ error. SDL is 1.2.14. Iā€™m not sure what more information is needed - that error is the full extent of what is dumped to the console by the GetError() function of SDL_image.

There doesnā€™t seem to be any documentation regarding migration/update steps, so Iā€™m a little surprised by the error.

I think the ā€˜Blit combination not supportedā€™ error is given when you have an
invalid (according to SDL) pixel format in either the source or destination
of the blit. Itā€™s hard to help further without seeing the code that causes
it. Do you suspect that itā€™s in your code or do you think itā€™s in the
SDL_image code? Can you debug it? Does this happen when you donā€™t use
SDL_image? Can you change the images it loads to see if a different format
has a different effect?
