I have successfully compiled SDL, and compiled several SDL programs in cegcc. To compile SDL: Grab SDL 1.2.6 <http://www.libsdl.org/release/SDL-1.2.6.tar.gz> Grab this patch < http://users.uoa.gr/~knakos/scummvm/libraries/libsdl_20070610_diff> Unzip SDL: tar -zxf SDL-1.2.6.tar.gz apply the patch (in the base SDL directory): patch -p0 < libsdl*diff go into the makefile (created by the patch) and replace all (about 3) occurrences of arm-wince-pe with arm-wince-mingw32ce run make (it should run without a hitch): ./make grab the resulting libSDL.lib from the build directory, drop it in your /opt/mingw32ce...../lib/ directory dont forget the header files in include/ And then your good to go!
Heres a command line script you can run: wget http://www.libsdl.org/release/SDL-1.2.6.tar.gz tar -zxf SDL-1.2.6.tar.gz cd SDL-1.2.6 wget http://users.uoa.gr/~knakos/scummvm/libraries/libsdl_20070610_diff patch -p0 < libsdl_20070610_diff cat Makefile | sed -e 's/arm-wince-pe/arm-wince-mingw32ce/' > Makefile2 mv Makefile2 Makefile make sudo cp libSDL.lib /opt/mingw32ce/arm-wince-mingw32ce/lib/ cd .. rm SDL-1.2.6.tar.gz rm -r SDL-1.2.6 wget http://users.uoa.gr/~knakos/scummvm/libraries/release-0-10-0/wince-gcc-libs.tar.bz2 sudo -jxf wince-gcc-libs.ta.bz2 cd libs/include sudo cp sdl /opt/mingw32ce/arm-wince-mingw32ce/include/ cd ../.. rm -r libs rm wince-gcc-libs.tar.bz2 and your done!! compile SDL programs with the command: arm-wince-mingw32ce-gcc testsdl.c -o test.exe -llibSDL Cheers! Ill probs put this up on the wiki soon... On Fri, Aug 15, 2008 at 8:26 AM, Adam Walley <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi, Rene. > > Thanks for the clarification on pygame-ctypes.
