Hi,
I tried mail Daniel Moissette first, but his e-mail bounces. SDL4Freepascal does not appear to work with the latest versions of SDL.

Everything compiles just fine, but known-good code crashes (216) when you run it. The first time you call SDL-init the programs die. This ONLY affects code compiled against the latest versions, code compiled on earlier versions, will still run on the latest one.

Any ideas?

eeeek, This is not good. I have programs I've written that use the wonderfull SDL ported bindings that Daniel Moissette did. It's too bad he doesn't maintain it anymore. One of us needs to get the latest SDL library and create fpc bindings... (I don't have any idea how yet, still working on creating fpc binding for sqlite www.sqlite.org )

cheers
James

PS: Sorry no ideas :( I'm still using 1.0.6 ...

I just received a mail from the Jedi developpers about SDL a few days back.

They said that the Jedi SDL also work with 1.0.4.

I actually mis-read his post. I have the latest version of the SDL port for Free Pascal (I don't think Daniel maintains his port anymore :( )... It works with FPC 1.0.6 and also worked with 1.0.4

SDL4Freepascal-1.2.0.0.tar.gz

is what's in my archives ...
This is installed and did work with 1.0.4 and still works with 1.0.6 ...

cheers
James

Well firstly, I am using 1.0.8 because I also use lazarus a lot.

And this stuff used to work, it changed after I upgraded mandrake. The code as compiled on mdk 9.0 with the same compiler still runs.

I could considder JEDI, though I am given to wonder, Daniel's headers are 480kb's JEDI is 14mb's. Why ? Did they translate the whole package ?

Furthermore JEDI is delphi, under FPC it can only be compiled in delphi mode with a few hacks thrown in (believe me I have tried). But the code I am trying to maintain is plain pascal calling on the SDL units to get graphics - hardly a suitable situation. Also I am still working (albeit slowly) on an SDL port of the graph unit, which is now effectively halted.

Yeah the SDL binding I have on my system work wonderfully for 1.0.4 and 1.0.6 ... It's as I said perhaps some of us need to get together and work on maintaining up-to-date bindings to the SDL library for Free Pascal. (ie: in FP mode ...)

my 2 cents

Domonique Lewis is/was the maintainer of Jedi SDL. I used to work with him for a year or so. Nice bloke. Very approachable. I know he was aiming to fully support FPC because I had a long conversation with him about FPC for BeOS. I'd look for his site and get the latest {FPC} build he has. I'm pretty sure that he will help out on any errors encountered. I think the url for his page was something like 'www.delphigamer.com.au', though just try to google for 'Dom Lewis SDL Delphi Jedi' and he should pop up.

hope that helps,

Matt

Hey thanks. I didn't know someone else ported the SDL library for FPC ...

cheers

Actually you might want to search your memory banks again for that url, After 20 minutes I'm unable to find his website ... If I do find it I'll post it here.

It helped me. For the others:

Googled for Dominique Lewis SDL pascal

Took the first hit into an archive, which led to

I did some more testing, and it appears the problem only exists on my laptop. The code still runs fine on any other machine, including code written and compiled on the laptop.

I have no idea what's wrong though, other SDL software I have run fine.

This seems to be something either SDL4FPC or FPC specific.

In the meantime, I can work by using my Desktop.
