[SDL] Compiling whoes - need a hint

[Gunnar von Boehn]

Hi,

This is more a general compile question.
I hope the knowledgeable folks here will be so kind to
give me a hint, helping me to compile a SDL application
staticly on Linux (powerpc).

I tried to compile a SDL game statically
on stable (sarge) GNU Debian PowerPC Linux.

1st try:
SDL on Debian seems to be linked with lib ascii art.
Linking of libaa failed with undefined references of libaa.a
to some gpm functions. I installed libgpm.a and added -lgpm to the 
compile options but still the compile failed.

2nd try:
Then, I thought maybe compiling SDL from scratch would be a better 
solution. Downloaded SDL - did configure, make, make install.
Again linking of the game fails with an undefined reference.
libXrender.a has an undefined refrence to XNextRequest.

Can someone please help me and tell me where XNextRequest is defined?


Many thanks in advance
Gunnar
