SDL 2.0 for Pascal

[Cybermonkey]

Ah, thanks! I even registered at the DGL community and wanted to ask you there. Any chance of iOS/Android support soon?

If i get the time. I even have a Android Handy now

But DGL is good, there i'm way more active ^^.

That would be nice. I've got a tablet and want to play my own games on it ...

Another one from me trying to improve SDL2_Mixer this time. This is the original part with still C code in it (starting at line 115):

  {* Good default values for a PC soundcard *}
const
  MIX_DEFAULT_FREQUENCY = 22050; {
#if SDL_BYTEORDER == SDL_LIL_ENDIAN
  MIX_DEFAULT_FORMAT = AUDIO_S16LSB;
#else
  MIX_DEFAULT_FORMAT = AUDIO_S16MSB
#endif                            }
  MIX_DEFAULT_CHANNELS = 2;
  MIX_MAX_VOLUME       = 128; {* Volume of a chunk *}

I made this out of it:

{* Good default values for a PC soundcard *}
const
  MIX_DEFAULT_FREQUENCY = 22050; 
{$IFDEF ENDIAN_LITTLE}
  MIX_DEFAULT_FORMAT = AUDIO_S16LSB;
{$ELSE}
  MIX_DEFAULT_FORMAT = AUDIO_S16MSB;
{$ENDIF}
  MIX_DEFAULT_CHANNELS = 2;
  MIX_MAX_VOLUME       = 128; {* Volume of a chunk *}

I have to admit that I don't know if Delphi has that compiler switch (ENDIAN_LITTLE) but Free Pascal does.

Hi Junior! Hi Cybermonkey!

Seem this is a lonely road that of working with pascal and SDL2
I've started working with your headers Junior, working great with Delphi XE3 and Lazarus for Win32.

Now I'm trying Lazarus + Linux + SDL2 ... but I'm a total newbie on Linux
I'm read from you Cybermonkey googling in another forum this:
"If someone has questions about SDL2 with FPC under Linux, don‘t hesitate to ask. "
Then i'm here

I "think" I've successfully installed SDL2 via PPA : https://launchpad.net/~zoogie/+archive/sdl2-snapshots (a friend help me )
Then successfully installed Lazarus 1.0.2.. can't remember how after many tries... but it works!

Now i'm trying a simply Hello World and Lazarus can't find the library lSDL2

------
/usr/bin/ld: warning: link.res contains output sections; did you forget -T?
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lSDL2
project1.lpr(66,1) Error:Error while linking
------

I have not experience with Linux or Freepascal, i'm Windows Delphi user :-/
I think can contribute with some "fancy" examples after I could manage to compile in these
three environments: FreePascal-Linux, FreePascal-Windows, Delphi XE3-(no-VCL, no-Firemonkey), Delphi XE3 + VCL

Any help very appreciated!

My guess would be you don't have the appropriate developer packages installed. Try installing "SDL2-devel" and whatever other packages (_gfx, _net, et cetera) you may need.

Hi, and yes, either the sdl2-devel is missing or the linker can't find the appr. libraries. What Linux do you use? I assume it's an Ubuntu distro, so I'd rather recommend to use the official libraries from your package manager.
