SDL backend for BlitzMax
7 stars 6 forks source link

"esd" audio backend deprecated on Ubuntu 18.04+ #14

Closed GWRon closed 6 years ago

GWRon commented 6 years ago

When trying to compile sdl.mod on Ubuntu 18.04 you get a "file not found" for the file "esd.h". Called from "sdl.mod/sdl.mod/SDL/src/audio/esd/SDL_esdaudio.c"

The corresponding .deb file for the dev package is no longer available in 18.04+

For more details see here: https://github.com/bmx-ng/bmx-ng/issues/38

I'll disable it then if it's dead.

The thing with SDL is that it dynamically loads audio drivers at run time, so it's best to build for as many as you can.

Yes the dynamic linking is nice...but it still requires the developer to have the -dev packages during compilation. Which might become a hassle for ESD.
