[fpc-pascal]Compiler switches

2004-09-02 Thread Jeff Weeks
I'd like to try using JEDI-SDL but the directions only tell how to set up the IDE... not how to use the command line compiler under Linux. I'm stumped on a few of them. I condensed the following from the JEDI-SDL Yahoo Group instructions and added what I think the corresponding command-line switc

I tried the SDL4Freepascal headers and they seem to work. Just can't see how to display text. And they don't appear to work on Macintosh. JEDI-SDL supposedly works on a "modified" version of Freepascal on a Mac. Any Mac people out there using JEDI-SDL? Anyone have Freepascal examples? Tha

Do I really need to use vgalib under linux? I'm having a hard time finding a supported graphics card. Is it true that only a handful of chipsets are supported? Any way to use the X graphics rather than vgalib? Can't get graphics to work on my Trident 9660. It's the oldest chipset I have.

I'm using the following units on Linux. USES ports, dos, crt, graph, printer; readkey doesn't capture keystrokes as they're typed. It reads them all in sequence only after the user presses enter. This is unlike the way TP reads the kbd buffer. Am I doing something wrong? And Linux terminates
