Hello again,
x86 Debian sid with the SDL libraries installed:
In runtime/parrot/library/SDL.imc I replaced the respective loadlibs with:
loadlib libsdl, 'libSDL-1.2.so.0'
That's not a general solution, as it makes explicit system-dependent assumptions on filenames.
I've added explicit symlinks - it looks like a debian problem (missing link to .so):
$ locate libSDL_image /usr/lib/libSDL_image-1.2.so.0 /usr/lib/libSDL_image-1.2.so.0.1.2 /usr/lib/libSDL_image.so
$ ls -l $(locate libSDL_image.so) ... /usr/lib/libSDL_image.so -> libSDL_image-1.2.so.0
(for all these libs)
And it worked! (w/warning: SDL::fetch_layout warning: layout 'Pixels' not found!)
Yep.
At this stage of development is parrot supposed to automatically locate the shared libraries?
If they are named properly and are located in either runtime/parrot/dynext/ or in a location that the loader searches - yes.
Thanks, Adam
