    Is It Time Yet?

    I have a suggestion that may be easier to push as a standard. This problem is the same one that faced DOS game programmers in the 1980s. (Actually, DOS programmers of all stripes.) The solution which took hold was that everyone agreed on one thing -- F1 = help. Almost universally, if you...

    Problems Making Uae4all

    Well, yes -- implicit rules. GNU Make even has built-in ones. See: http://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/ht...er/make_10.html

    Zip Utility?

    Of course, I'm always one to follow the Larry Wall philosophy ("There's more than one way to do it.") While all these recommendations are very good, if you really need ZIP compatibility for some reason or another in your scripts -- a large collection of zipped ROMs, for example -- I've ported...

    GP2X What Safety Tips When Logged In A Bash Prompt?

    Don't write to anything in the /dev tree unless you really know what you're doing. Especially things under /dev/mtdblock/ -- you can overwrite your U-Boot pretty easily there.

    Slashdot

    The people who are not interested in the GP2X, and use slashdot.org as their primary news source, currently think that the source was released weeks ago. That's because there was a SlashBack followup on 18 January to the first posting. They linked to this GizmosForGeeks post, which mentioned...

    GP2X Hw Accelerated Sdl

    Just to add to the mix here -- I'm getting similar reports (app freezing consistently on some GP2Xes, working fine on others) with the DosBox port. I built the release with ooPo's 20060215 toolchain.pl as well.

    Dosbox

    If you're using the dosbox.conf and mapper.txt that I included in the tarball, [Enter] is mapped to the GP2X [Vol +] button. This, and the other key mappings I picked, are in the README.gp2x file in the 'blockout' directory.

    Dosbox

    D'oh! I made the (in retrospect, stupid) assumption that DosBox's Makefile would have run strip. It probably does that during 'make install', which I didn't run. Thanks.

    Dosbox

    Oh, well, another theory down the drain. Yes, I linked staticly. (The resulting binary is over 6meg -- it *better* be static!)

    Dosbox

    I've been getting reports of people who can't get it working. It's very odd -- some people have no trouble, some never see it work. I'm trying to figure out what the common denominator is. Obviously, I haven't yet. I'm also seeing some discussion in the Devel section here that some folks are...

    A Fresh New Toolchain+libs - Compiled On Demand!

    Aha, now I see. You're in the nasty minefield of "I want some static and some dynamic". I think a lot of us have been avoiding this by linking EVERYTHING staticly, including SDL. For a system like the GP2X, it's really the most reasonable course. You don't want to depend on some particular...

    A Fresh New Toolchain+libs - Compiled On Demand!

    Well, I'm running out of ideas, then. Can you capture the output of a make run and see if your flags make it to the gcc link step? Also, look in /home/domino/work/gp2xdev/lib and make sure you have the static libs there (libSDL.a, libjpeg.a, etc.). I expect that by this point, I'm telling you...

    A Fresh New Toolchain+libs - Compiled On Demand!

    Okay, given those clues, my guess is that the typo is killing you, and the linker is not getting its flags. Try LFLAGS instead of LFILGS, and if that doesn't work, try LDFLAGS.

    Dosbox For Gp2x Available

    Could be. My GP2X is still on its original firmware, the initial release one. I have yet to flash it. I wonder if Squidge has made any progress with a GP2X emulator. It would be nice to be able to test an app with multiple configurations. Have you tried capturing the stdout and stderr of...

    A Fresh New Toolchain+libs - Compiled On Demand!

    Well, no, that's not right. Static vs. dynamic linking happens at link time for your app, not at compile time for the SDL libs. If you've got static SDL libraries (*.a files) and a static JPEG lib, and you link your app with -static, you shouldn't be dependent on anything else. What sort of...

    Gp2x Gpl Faq

    I think it's an excellent sign that they are providing access to a Subversion repository, rather than just dumping a tarball on us.

    Dosbox For Gp2x Available

    No, that's exactly what you're supposed to do. If I can get hold of a copy of it, I'll give it a try here. It's a bit easier to debug when I can get a bash shell running at the same time (thanks to gfoot). I expect the initial stabs at getting various DOS games working will be, erm, a bit...

    Gp2x Gpl Faq

    Yahoo! Thanks, Craig! (A rather low-key way of letting us know, I must say.)

    Dosbox For Gp2x Available

    Ooh. Sorry to hear that. If you give me some information as to what you tried, I can try to help. Were you trying the Blockout sample, or something else? If the Blockout sample, where did you get Blockout from?
