[SDL] Problems with installing and using SDL in Solaris 8 and 9

[Charles McGarvey]

Good questions.  I don't know for sure; I'm just judging by the error.  You can try explicitly linking against libiconv... just add -liconv to the gcc parameter list...

Look here for more general info:
http://www.gnu.org/software/libiconv/

It may or may not be the problem, but it might be a start since those are the undefined symbols.

I know.  It's too bad that all those people who write linkers had to secretly get together and swear with an oath that they would all make linker error messages completely vague just to make the rest of us suffer.  It's tough.

  Hello Charles,

  Does not that library come with SDL? were can I find it? Why is SDL installation not giving any warning while compilation / during running .configure if a library is not found and which is required by SDL?

    Do you have libiconv installed?  Your SDL stuff is being found, but it seems that SDL is using libiconv which is what cannot be found.

      Hello All,

      I had installed SDL in /local/tcsarsl/myworld/ by changing the following line in Makefile of SDL

      prefix = /local/tcsarsl_local/myworld

      Installation was sucessful and the libraries were created in /local/tcsarsl_local/myworld

      Now I am running in the test folder the following comand

      ./configure SDL_CONFIG=/local/tcsarsl/myworld/bin/sdl-config

      this gave the errors that were being reported. Pleaselet me know if you would want my compilation logs or so.
