Version 1.0.9?

The current CVS I just picked up says v1.0.9.
Most SDL proggies I have get annoyed by this. Is this right?

sorry if this is an obvious question… I am kind of a newbie to SDL.

G’day, eh? :slight_smile:

We might probably be better able to help you if you stated

  • which SDL program gives an error

  • the exact error message

  • a description on how to reproduce the problem

  • Andreas

SDL official release: 1.1.3
SDL CVS : 1.0.9 (in Makefile amongst -many- other locations)

smpeg-0.4.0 on ./configure once CVS sdl is installed errors out. with
incorrect version.

I was under the impression that the SDL CVS was the latest version???

it’s in configure.in incidentally. At least in the current CVS it is.
And the first thing that errored was actually “configure” in the test
directory until I ran “make test” from the SDL root. ?

Anyways all I am is wondering at this time… is the CVS repository the
latest release?On Mon, 31 Jul 2000, Andreas Umbach wrote:

The SDL CVS main branch is the stable release of SDL, version 1.0.

If you want the development branch, take a look at:
http://www.libsdl.org/cvs.html

See ya!

Good. Useful information here.

smpeg-0.4.0 on ./configure once CVS sdl is installed errors out. with
incorrect version.

Why don’t you just quote the error message (probably together with the
relevant snipped from config.log)?

The CVS main trunk is 1.0.9 (latest stable version).
The Development branch is tagged devel_1_1_0
Do the following to check out the latest developer CVS:

cvs -z3 -d :pserver:guest at cvs.lokigames.com:/cvs co -r devel_1_1_0 SDL

it’s in configure.in incidentally. At least in the current CVS it is.

directory until I ran “make test” from the SDL root. ?

This is rather cryptic too…

Get SDL-1.1.3 from www.libsdl.org. It’s the latest mostly-stable
version, and it should work with most SDL apps.

Here’s the script I use to pickup SDL.
cvs -z3 update -PAd . &> err.cvs
is how I update the directory afterwards.

#!/bin/sh
echo passwd is "guest"
cvs -d :pserver:guest at cvs.lokigames.com:/cvs login
cvs -z3 -d :pserver:guest at cvs.lokigames.com:/cvs co -r devel_1_1_0 SDL

This matches the www site. Am I doing something wrong?

(checking)
Whoah. Could be my update’s failed. Ah well, new CVS checkout worked.
1.1.4, as it should be.

And for future references, the version number is contained in:
configure.in

And that’s all :slight_smile:

and hrm. Anyone (who knows automake/autoconf/… better than me which is
easy :slight_smile: - is it possible to add “/usr/local/include” and
"/usr/local/lib" to the default include and lib paths for SDL?

Some kind of “configure” option?

This’d be handy. I’m doing it manually now (patching sdl-config after
installation).

Explanation: Mandrake 6.x (and 7.x afaik) does not include these paths by
default. Been a pain from day 1 as that’s where a lot of proggies install
themselves including several pieces of SDL :slight_smile: (well, helpers -> such as
GGI)On Mon, 31 Jul 2000, Sam Lantinga wrote:

I’m not sure, but this might be related to aclocal ignoring things in
/usr/local/share/aclocal. Try to copy all .m4 files in
/usr/local/share/aclocal to /usr/share/aclocal, and rerun ./configure
As for /usr/local/lib, add that to /etc/ld.so.conf and rerun ldconfig
(as root).
