ZSNES source compile problem

[lishkan nui]

I have SuSE linux 10.1, compiling from source. ./autogen.sh runs without any apparant errors, but when I run make, it works for a time then starts generating a bunch of errors and shutting down. THe make output is:

Has this happened to anyone before? Anyone know how to make it compile properly?

Seems like your SDL lib is linked against the AA lib, but you're missing the AA lib.

So where do I obtain the AA lib then?

[Nach]

Don't look at me. Look at your SuSE manuals or equivelent for getting stuff.

[kevman]

Umm, lishkan, you DO know what the AA lib is, right?

AsciiArt.

[lishkan nui]

AsciiArt.

I had no clue what the AA lib was until you just told me. Why in the same of our Dark Lord Satan does ZSNES need to access an ascii art library?

For that matter, why is there a "library" for ascii art at all? I'm not a programmer, to be sure, but I still can't of a reason why that makes sense at all.

[Deathlike2]

Meh, I'll shut up. You're gonna have to figure out the problem yourself.

[spoon0042]

It's not ZSNES, it's SDL. SDL was compiled with aalib, so compiling something with SDL needs the aalib stuff around. So you get aalib as a useless bonus feature for using SDL,

And why? BECAUSE WE CAN. Or something.

It is pretty much useless, though.

I'm not very sure but I suppose you could, for example, watch a movie stored in a remote location from a terminal?

It's too bad AAlib is so lousy :P
It would be nice if it used color averages in addition to its rather poor use of ascii characters. It should also consider an option to replace the charset with a custom set that can better represent graphical art.
But, oh well. Not like anyone uses it seriously anyway.

[Nach]

What are you talking about?

I don't see what's lousy, and how can a custom set work?

Would a custom set allow this: http://nsrt.edgeemu.com/image.htm
Or this http://nsrt.edgeemu.com/image2.htm ?

The fact that I couldn't even make out what the first picture was before seeing the second is what I'm talking about.

What's lousy is the missing color information. There was an NES emulator for DOS that essentially took advantage of this and it helped quite a bit. Obviously, you end up with a mosaic image rather than a sharp image, but eh. It works ok. Especially if your width+height are equal as in the higher VESA text modes.

A custom set can work just like your set does. But you design it more for computer graphics by adding curved, connecting pieces to better simulate hard lines. Cartoons better represent straight/curved lines than they do ascii characters. I'm surprised you're even asking me this. More advanced image parsing would be required, of course.

Anyway, is there a quick and easy way to make SDL default to SVGAlib instead of AAlib when you run from a pure console without recompiling SDL and such?

I saw an ASCII art movie featuring the clip from the Matrix where Neo is dodging the bullets on top of the building. It was cool, in an odd sort of way, but it took a lot of resources to render. And having aalib make the compile not work is just gay. Turns out I actually do have it, as well as aalib-debug, and the thing still won't compile. I don't care about having ascii art, I just want to run the damn emulator. Is there an option I can set for make that will let it ignore aalib?

It's easy to see if you step back from the monitor.

Cartoons better represent straight/curved lines than they do ascii characters. I'm surprised you're even asking me this. More advanced image parsing would be required, of course.

So I use this custom set, and how do I make a text HTML page out of it then? I can't include a custom set with my HTML page.

Not that I know of. However mplayer supports AA out of the box. I watched Air Force One that way once, was quite a kick.

whee. I just tried that and the console locked up and I had to restart. Awesome.

Anyway. I guess you could put something like this in your bash rc/profile:

Code: Select all

[ -z "$DISPLAY" ] && export SDL_VIDEODRIVER=svgalib

(Though this page I found says it should be trying svga first...)

Turns out I actually do have it, as well as aalib-debug, and the thing still won't compile.

You probably want aalib-dev, not debug.

There are nice textmode demos on pouet...
http://www.pouet.net/lists.php?which=11

eg. Rivulet, jupop, Fixedsys, Dead Blue People, TMDC7 releases, Rapture, Tribute, ...

[grinvader]

Libcaca can be interesting, if you have trouble with grayscale ascii pics.

I have aalib-devel (which I take is the newest version of aalib-debug). Same problem. I'm at a loss as to how to fix this.
