SDL compiled. Can't run SDL apps

[riteshtonk]

Hi,
I finally managed to set up my crosstool environment and wrote a sample "Hello World" application, which worked fine from eKonsole.

I cross compiled SDL with arm-linux flag and copied the .so files to the phone. To test out if the SDL was compiled fine, I wrote a small app which uses SDL and ran it from eKonsole again.
I was expecting to see a white screen with some randomly generated pixels, but nothing happened. The binary did run, as I could see it running as a process in a separate eKonsole session, but no expected output. I could not even kill the process and had to reboot my phone.

What am I missing here?

What phone ?
Did you apply any patches to SDL ?

MotoMing (A1200). No patches.

I just saw the post made here about SDL. Will try the same.

I guess is because of the ioctl FBIOPUT_VSCREENINFO, we can't use it on A1200. The process hangs...

Thanks for the help, epinter!

I do not have any knowledge about the A1200 system calls. I was hoping to get SDL compiled and installed on my phone then I can develop some games/apps.

We need to modify SDL to work with A1200... Actually isn't working... The display isn't rotated...
I'm trying to find an alternative to the SDL qtopia driver. Blackhawk found something, but isn't working yet.

Ok. Even I will start having a look at the code
