GP32 Sleek/tiny Gp2x Sdk

[streak]

Hi

Im looking for PURE GP2X SDK Libs with Compiler [ without any allegro / SDL / and other libs addons ]. Just pure SDK.

When i looked in SDK provided on GP2X.DE i saw many libs that are not useable for newbie C++ coder [ like me ]. Trying to make it work will cut all my weekend [ or even whole week ], so im asking a little favor. Maybe You can help somehow. -> Where i can find sleek/tiny GP2X SDK only with standard libs / compilator [ without fancy things like additional allegro / SDL / other libs ]. Im trying to make a ultra-sleek IDE for that SDK [ in delphi ], because CODE::BLOX and Dev-C++ are "too heavy" for me as a newbie C++/C coder.

Get the base toolchain for the cross compiler: E.g. Open2x: http://wiki.open2x.org/open2x/wiki/index.php?title=Toolchain
Get Rlyeh's Minimal Library for low level API to the GP2x
Get a text editor such as Notepad++ or Programmer's notepad

Compile everything by command line.

Both DevCpp and Code::Blocks are lightweight for a C++ programmer. Try downloading Visual Studio Express Edition for example. You are not going to get much sleeker then Code::Blocks with the same amount of features.

Note that libraries like SDL are there to make your life easier; if you're going right to the metal, you'll have to create your own routines for drawing lines and circles and so-forth, which is actually more work. So sometimes 'more is more' or 'less is more', depending on what you want to do

What do you want to do? If its text based stuff (ie, not using lcd) then going without libs is easy - just download open2x toolchain as already stated. However, if you want to draw stuff onto lcd and not done linux development before, you will find it more difficult *not* to use a library.

Newbies usually go along the CODE::BLOX / SDL route as it's easier than trying to do without them.

You should explain what exactly you want to do with your SDK. If you want to code in C++ for your GP2X, I guess you want to display something on the screen, right? Then SDL is the easiest option.
