i’m taking a first crack at mixing oggvorbis and SDL_mixer
together on windows. it seems i’ve got everything ready,
except for 1 problem…
when linking i’m getting an unresolved external “_SDL_Error”.
i’m definitely linking the SDL.lib into the mix. but i
was under the impression the actual SDL_Error variable was
private to SDL, and i can’t find any references to it in
SDL_mixer. (those sneaky macros…)
i also noticed the music_ogg.c file was calling
"SDL_SetError" instead of “Mix_SetError”. i know they’re the
same things, but i just wondered if anyone cared about that
consistency.
anyways, a seemingly simple link problem, yet the solution
is eluding me. i’m pressing on, but hoping someone can beat
me to the solution :]
You mean SDL_mixer doesn’t already come with OGG support? I’d be
interested in gettings my hands on whatever you produce, please and
thank you!–

ok, my problem is that my SDL.dll does not have an
exported SDL_Error function. turns out SDL_Error is a
function, and not the actualy string error value (my bad).
in the oggvorbis sourcefile i just switched
"SDL_OutOfMemory()" calls into “SDL_SetError(“Out of Memory”)”
that got it happy for me, didn’t really investigate into
the SDL side of things, i noticed SDL_Error was not in the
SDL.def file, might be the problem?
anyways, the good news is that OGG support for SDL_mixer
is working really well on windows. happy day! stay tuned
for my latest and greatest win32-dependencies archive. i
was shocked to see many libs out of date. (i thought i was
on top of things, sheesh) now i’m just waiting on the
potential new SDL_ttf before releasing it.
