Compile rror (SDL): cannot find -lSDLmain

[MadButch]

Code I wrote for the PSP without SDL runs fine...
All the SDL samples build and run fine...

But when I try to compile my program with SDL, I get the following error:

Code: Select all

$ make

Here is the makefile for my app:

Code: Select all

TARGET          = GPH_App2

CFLAGS          = -O2 -G0 -Wall -I/usr/include/SDL -Dmain=SDL_main

PSP_EBOOT_TITLE = GamePlayHeaven PSP App. 2

PSPSDK          =$(shell psp-config --pspsdk-path)

Does anyone have a clue what I'm doing wrong?

You do not have the -L for SDL.
This is done with the sdl-config command:

matthewh$ /usr/local/pspdev/psp/bin/sdl-config --libs
-L/usr/local/pspdev/psp/lib -lSDLmain -lSDL -lm -L/usr/local/pspdev/psp/sdk/lib -lpspdebug -lpspgu -lpspctrl -lpspge -lpspdisplay -lpsphprm -lpspaudio -lc -lpspuser -lpspkernel

You will see sdl-config used in all SDL app Makefiles.

I don't have a sdl-config in that dir.
I had to manually install SDL (128), because I can't seem to get it from the pspsdk.

Do I have to move the config file into that dir, or was I supposed to extract the SDL files from the pspsdk (toolchain) somehow?


EDIT:
I see the sdl-config file is in my bin dir in the root. But I looked for the .lib files, and I don't have those. So that must be whats wrong.
So I went back to the SDL site, and downloaded SDL-1.2.8-1.i386.rpm. But altho they got whole walkthroughs on how to run a setup.exe under windows, there is nothing on installing an rpm package.

No clue what I'm doing wrong... but this stuff is all made just a little bit too complicated for any normal person. It's like it's designed to be weird :)

Ah well.. someday I will have it set up and I can actually start coding =/

You can't use i386 SDL for the PSP as they are binary incompatible. You need to check out SDL for PSP from the pspdev Subversion repository. Once you do, follow the instructions in README.PSP to build and install SDL for PSP.

The same goes for other PSP-specific ports of libraries such as zlib and libpng.

I've searched thru these forums, but I can't find any info on how to use that SVN site. I managed to find the SDL files in there, but I can't believe that I have to right click and Save As every single file in there....

There must be an easier way...

I already used the toolchain -p command to download and build the latest version, but that doesn't included any SDL files for me...

Would there be someplace/link where you could direct me to, that would explain how to use the SVN site?

EDIT:
Seems there is indeed, I found this works:

Code: Select all

SVN checkout svn://svn.pspdev.org/psp/trunk/SDL
