Hi all,

In the previous thread about 'SDL Issues' we were talking quite a lot about the need of a good up-to-date SDL port for FreePascal. It was suggested that the Jedi support had a port for FreePascal.

Perhaps this is the link: ???

Welcome to the JEDI-SDL Home page.
Here you should be able to find most things related to the JEDI-SDL API Object Pascal header translations for SDL( Simple DirectMedia Library ). SDL works on Linux, Win32, Playstation 2, BeOS, MacOS, Solaris, IRIX, FreeBSD and AmigaOS.
Currently JEDI-SDL supports Delphi, Kylix and the FreePascal compilers and the platforms that they support.

hope this helps anyone trying to use SDL for FreePascal. I have not tested the JEDI port of SDL (yet)...

cheers

Further to James' findings...

They have a mailing list @

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/JEDI-SDL/

Quite a few messages concerning FPC - seems to be supported at least in direct SDL mode rather than using SDL with VCL stuff as for Delphi/Kylix.

Dominique Louis' page (If I could spell I'd be a genius) is @

www.delphigamer.com *or*
www.savagesoftware.com.au (which is were I got the .au from!!!)

I'd skip the Jedi site and look at the mailing list (requires a yahoogroups sign on unfortunately) as it is probably more informative and will get you help more quickly if required.

Thanks for those linsk Matt. I've used SDL quite extensively and consult the SDL documentation (in C) when I need help. I probably take it, there aren't many users of FPC (on this mailing list anyway) that use SDL ...

(Don't think I'll be registering a yahoo account, yuck :P I have one too many, msn account)

cheers

Excellent :) Because personally SDL is a lot easier to use and better than DirectX, and it supports multi-platforms :) (just have to figure out how to compile for other platforms on my Debian/Linux yet :P hehe)

One of the main developers of FPC would like to have graph SDL based, so that may change.
