SDL libraries dont install on Solaris 9 Ultra 5

[Ghazan Haider]

Has anyone successfully installed the SDL ([url]www.libsdl.org[/url]) libraries
onto their Solaris 9 based machine? Ive tried all the 'required'
libraries including svgalib and eventually get an SDL installation
that either has no video device or crashes. Ive tried gcc 2.96, 3.2
and forte. Tried changing makes and reinstalling all the GNU tools as
well.

Sorry if this post appears out of place, SDL has no group of its own
and this is a Solaris specific problem.

Well I did build it as on of the subsystems required by KDE 3.1
I dont think I tested it on its own. KDE is happy with it.

I did this - on a SUNBlade 100 Solaris 9 12/02 at the time.



../configure --disable-alsa --disable-esd --disable-nasm --with-x
--enable-video-aalib --enable-dlopen --disable-joystick

With more or less this environment

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib:/usr/openwin/lib:/usr/dt/lib:/usr/local/lib:/usr/sfw/lib:/opt/sfw/lib:/usr/local/qt/lib:/usr/local/kde/lib

This is whats in the libsdl at the moment.

The binaries would not build on Solaris 9 4/03. I had to use my backup to
restore them. OTOH, I did not spend any time trying to fix the sources or
Makefiles since I did have the backup.
