Description M 2003-01-31 00:35:38 UTC

Version:           Gideon alpha3 (using KDE KDE 3.1)
Installed from:    Compiled From Sources
OS:          Linux

It seems like it's always been a pain to configure KDevelop to be used with libSDL... The Mini-HOWTO that exists are targeted at KDevelop 1.4 and doesn't seem to work that great with 3.0


Why can't someone make sure that there's  a default SDL project with 
everything included... or atleast have a list of checkboxes with the possible SDL libraries to include in this project so I wont have to hack the configure.in etc.

SDL.h
SDL_image
SDL_ttf
SDL_mixer

are the most common ones... make sure there's such a choice when making a project.

Sorry about the "make sure" thing, Tired after trying to get it to work for hours... 
 
Well it's rather clear that many use KDevelop for their SDL projects but have to tackle 
this anyoing problem of configureing it for KDevelop. The problem has been there 
since (at least) 1.4 and was thought to be fixed in 2.0 since the appwizard was supposed to 
support pre-made "plugin choices" IIRC. 
 
Got it working using this tutorial: 
http://www.geekcomix.com/snh/files/docs/sdl-kdev/sdl-kdev-mini-how2.html 
and not to forget -lSDL has to get passed to ld :)

Created attachment 870 [details]
SDL Template for Gideon

Here's what I've made... it should work but I have no chance of confirming
since KDevelop crashes directly aconf etc has been run.. 
KDevelop and KDE3.1 behaves very strange for me all the time now so I'll need
to rebuild from scratch to be sure it's not an error on my side...

I hope this is enough for someone that is better than me on Templates to check
it out and make small corrections so it gets added in the 3.0 or 3.1 release

The file you posted is corrupt. Please post it again.

Comment 4 M 2003-03-19 15:35:47 UTC

No it's not. It's a .tar.gz file, it works great from my end here.

if you name it gideonsdl.tar.gz and use
gunzip gideonsdl.tar.gz
tar xvf gideonsdl.tar

it should work.. I just downloaded it and opened the files with winrar.
Nothing strange on my end

As far as I know Ian Reinhardt Geiser looked into it. The last mail I got from him 
(about a month ago): 
 
"Doh sorry ive been waay to busy the last few weeks... ill get right on it and 
see if i cannot have it finished in the next few days." 
 
I'll ask him right now, what the status is...
