GP2X Sdl_gfx Dynamic Library

[Orkie]

I've been trying to cross compile SDL_gfx for the GP2X, but I want dynamic libraries and for some reason, I only seem to be getting static ones when I compile it. Here is my configure line:

	$(TARGET_CONFIGURE_OPTS) \
	CFLAGS="$(TARGET_CFLAGS)" \
	./configure \
		--target=$(GNU_TARGET_NAME) \
		--host=$(GNU_TARGET_NAME) \
		--build=`uname -m` \
		--with-sdl-prefix=$(STAGING_DIR) \
		--with-sdl-exec-prefix=$(STAGING_DIR) \
		--prefix=/usr \
		--exec-prefix=/usr \
		--bindir=/usr/bin \
		--sbindir=/usr/sbin \
		--libexecdir=/usr/lib \
		--sysconfdir=/etc \
		--datadir=/usr/share \
		--localstatedir=/var \
		--includedir=/include \
		--mandir=/usr/man \
		--infodir=/usr/info \
		--enable-shared \
		--enable-static \
		--disable-mmx

Any idea what I'm doing wrong here? I'm just using a generic 2.0.16 tarball for the source.

Thanks

Just a quick one, but have you tried removing "--enable-static"?

 

[Orkie]

Yes, still the same result

I don't have much experience here, so I might be completely wrong, but don't dynamic libraries only work with GCC2.95 - GCC3.3 due to the way GPH built the system?

 

[Orkie]

It is to do with the version of glibc you link against, but that is pretty much irrelevant here anyway since these are libraries which are destined for a future open2x release

I'm working on a better GP2X toolchain and at some point in the near future I will have to compile sdl_gfx dynamically with gcc-4.1.1 and glibc-2.3.3.

The project web is at https://gna.org/projects/gp2x-toolchain/ feel free to join the project or mailing list.
Its based around Gcc-4.1.1 and Glibc 2.3.3 with Crosstool to make compiling easier and all code/libs built with software FP.

My problem is I can't figure out the subversion system on Gna. Could you direct me to the SVN administration for dummies guide?

Hi Orkie,

I have just updated the version of SDL_gfx in Open2x SVN to sync it with 2.0.16 and I am having problems generating dynamic and static libs. If I revert back to 2.0.13 then static and dynamic libs work great.

You could take a peek at the open2x-libs.sh and makefile.o2x in the libs module to see what I do but it is mainly a call out to configure anyway.

I will take a look tonight at what is broken in SDL_gfx 2.0.16 regards dynamic libs and commit a fix if it is easy to Open2X SVN.

Going back to 2.0.13 worked, thanks.
We're now one step closer to a finished filesystem

Blah, you should instead join the open2x project: http://open2x.org/

We have a lot of this work already done, and thanks to Orkie and DJWillis, will be pretty soon finished with a complete buildroot to create a completely viable alternative replacement for the GPH firmware ..
