Building SDL for fbcon requires Xlib.h?

[Jason Bodnar]

I'm trying to build SDL with only video support for the framebuffer. When I
run make I get the following errors:

Why does riva_mmio.h need X11/Xlib.h? I don't need riva support, just vesa fb
so if there's a way to turn something off I'd be up for that.

Hmm, that's interesting. The version of riva_mmio.h included in the fbcon
directory has only 449 lines. I'm guessing you have one somewhere else on
your system? :)

I don't think so. I think the problem lies somewhere other than SDL though.

I was doing this build on a uml virtual machine with the SDL src in a hostfs
mounted directory. I ran into all sorts of problems with with "stray \329"
erros from gcc (with the number varying constantly) and other errors. I think
something's going on with hostfs because I was able to eventually cleanly
build for SDL for fbcon only by shutting down the uml virtual machine,
rebooting it, running make, and repeat.

After every iteration the build would get a little further before new errors
popped up, but eventually finished without an error. (I haven't tested the
resulting libs yet.)

So, it seems this is a UML/hostfs problem so I won't bother the list anymore ;-)

Thanks,

Jason

Hello, is there a way that I can detect when the mouse is no longer inside
the sdl window in window mode, so that I can stop blitting my custom cursor?
It is wierd to have one mouse "stay behind" inside my sdl window when the
cursor travels outside the window.


Thank you

CaptureMouse/ReleaseMouse Under windows... I dunno if SDL has a flavor of
capture mouse for other drivers....

There's also NC_MOUSE messages which occur when a mouse leaves/enters your
window... but again I dunno if they're available for SDL...

p.s.: sorry, I've been too fast and deleted the original message already :)

You'll get an SDL_ActiveEvent when the mouse or keyboard gains/loses
focus on your app.

Check out.
