Hello, In may way of using a Python graphical module in the Gumstix, I came across the need of having SDL on the Gumstix. I'm having some problems trying to make the buildroot and all that stuff, and I would like to know if somebody compile the SDL into a library and use it on the gumstix. I think that if the SDL is available on a library on the Gumstix, making a GUI will be easier. Thanks Ezequiel |

There have been several questions posted on this forum about SDL on the Gumstix, but very few answers, so I thought I would try again. I am wanting to make a simple GUI for my application on the Gumsix, and I am trying to use SDL to accomplish this. We have got SDL programs running on a Windows machine, a Linux machine, but are now stumped on how to get the proper libraries installed so they can be used with the cross-compiler. Are there SDL libraries compiled for the Gumstix? Does anyone know how to compile the SDL library code for the Gumstix?

Yes, there are sdl libraries available for the Gumstix. Beware, joystick support seems to be broken. > There have been several questions posted on this forum about SDL on the > Gumstix, but very few answers, so I thought I would try again. > > I am wanting to make a simple GUI for my application on the Gumsix, and I am > trying to use SDL to accomplish this.

Great! Can you tell me a little more? Where they can be found would be helpful, and if they need to be compiled. If they need to be compiled, what problems might I run into. Thanks, Rich Yes, there are sdl libraries available for the Gumstix.

Just do a opkg list | grep libsdl on your Overo, there should be some packages there. I have been able to run xmame.sdl successfully(pre-compiled, found in a Pandora package), though Pac Man without a d-pad is painful. Had to reconfigure it to use the face buttons so I could play it. > Great! Can you tell me a little more? Where they can be found would be > helpful, and if they need to be compiled.

Thank you, very helpful! This will install the libraries on the Gumstix, but what about the lib files and header files for use with the cross compiler? We have developed a simple program in C, for both Windows and Linux, that uses SDL to build and output a simple gui screen, but the library files were already compiled for those platforms. Installing SDL put all the correct lib and header files in the correct lib and include directories, and all we had to do was #include <SDL\SDL.h> and put the lib command in the compile statement. I am not sure on how to find and install SDL for the OE build system, and get the correct (compiled for the Gumstix) lib and header files to install in the ~/overo-oe/tmp/staging/armv7a-..../usr/<lib/include> directories. Have you done this? If so, could you let me know how you went about it. I'll let you know how the install of SDL onto the Gumstix worked for us.

No, unfortunately I haven't tried compiling anything SDL with OE. However, there is a "libsdl-native" recipe, that might compile and install the necessary libraries and headers for cross-compiling with OE. > Thank you, very helpful! > > This will install the libraries on the Gumstix, but what about the lib files > and header files for use with the cross compiler?

GREAT!!! It works!! Thank you for your help. There is just one more problem. We found the: libsdl-1.2-dev libsdl-image-1.2-dev libsdl-ttf-dev but opkg didn't find libsdl-gfx-dev? Do you have any suggestions on how/where to find this library file and its header files? The program we have running on Windows and Linux uses this Lib, and it is pretty important to us.

Hi Rich, Have a look here: http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/repo/?pkgname=libsdl-gfx-dev The angstrom package browser is often useful for finding some of the less mainstream packages. I usually just add the feed to /etc/opkg on my overo to keep things simple in case there are additional dependencies but a wget <url>; opkg install works fine too.

You could just do a opkg install http://websitewherepackageishosted.com/package.ipk, works nicely. Most angstrom repository packages I've tried work fine with the angstrom builds on the overo. > Hi Rich, > > Have a look here: > http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/repo/?pkgname=libsdl-gfx-dev > > The angstrom package browser is often useful for finding some of the > less mainstream packages.

Thanks guys. I was pulled away for other projects, and I am jest getting back to this. We downloaded the libsdl-gfx-dev package, but it wouldn't install. It looked like it was empty (can't rally recal now.) Anyway, it looks like the repo is down now, and I can't get anything to download. does anyone have the libsdl-gfx-dev library file and/or the Sprig library and header files for Angstrom?
