SDL的下载http://www.libsdl.org/download-1.2.php，在shell下# tar xzvf SDL-1.2.14.tar.gz –C /usr 解压到/usr目录下，然后# cd /usr/SDL-1.2.14,进入SDL包的顶层目录里面的docs目录里面有html的帮助文本档。当然上面只是大概的介绍了SDL的包含部分功能以及开发开发API和Example，具体的大家可以自己看，我在这里就不一一叙述了…

在shell下输入# ./configure –help 可以查看配置参数

[root@localhost SDL-1.2.14]# ./configure --help
`configure' configures this package to adapt to many kinds of systems.

Usage: ./configure [OPTION]... [VAR=VALUE]...

To assign environment variables (e.g., CC, CFLAGS...), specify them as
VAR=VALUE.  See below for descriptions of some of the useful variables.

Defaults for the options are specified in brackets.

Configuration:
  -h, --help              display this help and exit
      --help=short        display options specific to this package
      --help=recursive    display the short help of all the included packages
  -V, --version           display version information and exit
  -q, --quiet, --silent   do not print `checking...' messages
      --cache-file=FILE   cache test results in FILE [disabled]
  -C, --config-cache      alias for `--cache-file=config.cache'
  -n, --no-create         do not create output files
      --srcdir=DIR        find the sources in DIR [configure dir or `..']

Installation directories:
  --prefix=PREFIX         install architecture-independent files in PREFIX
                          [/usr/local]
  --exec-prefix=EPREFIX   install architecture-dependent files in EPREFIX
                          [PREFIX]

By default, `make install' will install all the files in
`/usr/local/bin', `/usr/local/lib' etc.  You can specify
an installation prefix other than `/usr/local' using `--prefix',
for instance `--prefix=$HOME'.

For better control, use the options below.

  --bindir=DIR            user executables [EPREFIX/bin]

              you have headers in a nonstandard directory <include dir>
  CPP         C preprocessor
  CXX         C++ compiler command

  XMKMF       Path to xmkmf, Makefile generator for X Window System

Use these variables to override the choices made by `configure' or to help
it to find libraries and programs with nonstandard names/locations.

 

在这里，我们如果想让可执行程序只在PC机上运行的话，可简单的配置一下，只需指定--prefix=指定的目录例如--prefix=/opt    默认的install architecture-independent files in PREFIX [/usr/local] ,如果交叉编译到arm平台上的话只需把指定--host=arm-linux即可。PC平台上无需指定。

｛

SDL的交叉编译

# ./configure --prefix=/opt --disable-video-nanox -disable-video-qtopia
--disable-video-photon --disable-video-ggi --disable-video-svga --disable-video-aalib
--disable-video-dummy --disable-video-dga --disable-arts --disable-esd --disable-alsa
--disable-video-x11 --disable-nasm --enable-joystick --enable-input-tslib
--enable-video-fbcon --host=arm-linux --build=i386

｝

然后#make

#make install

在/opt下面会生成相应的目录。在SDL里面有一个test目录里面有相应的源码测试，可以直接configure然后生成makefile文件再make编译生成可执行文件。

里面的test有各种测试，有兴趣的可以研究一下里面的算法。
