Audio in SDL

[psiko_scweek]

Alright maybe im retarded I dont know...

I know when you install SDL_mixer it installs LibTimidity and MilkMod.

Now in order to play a Midi or a mod file, do you have to include those libraries into your makefile, if so how? if not, then how can you get a midi or mod to play in SDL!??

lol thanks

psiko

oh yeah i searched everyhere and i could not find anything on this! lol so I figured id ask the experts!

IIRC, you need to link mikmod libraries in the same way that you link other libraries to play midi or mod files in SDL.

You must be linking the SDL, SDL_image and SDL_mixer libraries for it to compile and run so you link the mikmod libraries the same way.

What in the world is SDL lol

[psiko_scweek]

Yessy2952, SDL stands for Simple Direct Layer, its a programming layer thats been ported to a bunch of platforms.

Yaustar, thats what i figured! but I dont know how to link to them. Does any one know how? :-(

[yaustar]

You link them in EXACTLY the same way as you do with any other library.

TARGET = Select Square
OBJS = main.o
YOURLIBS=

INCDIR =
CFLAGS = -G4 -Wall -O2
CXXFLAGS = $(CFLAGS) -fno-exceptions -fno-rtti
ASFLAGS = $(CFLAGS)

LIBDIR =
LDFLAGS =
STDLIBS= -lSDL -lSDL_image -lSDL_mixer -lmikmod -lpng -lm -lz -lpspsdk -lpspctrl -lpspumd -lpsprtc -lpsppower -lpspgu -lpspaudiolib -lpspaudio -lm
LIBS=$(STDLIBS)$(YOURLIBS)

EXTRA_TARGETS = EBOOT.PBP
PSP_EBOOT_TITLE = SelectPSP

PSPSDK=$(shell psp-config --pspsdk-path)
include $(PSPSDK)/lib/build.mak

lol i sense the hostility, but the reason i ask is i figured that was the answer, but

when i change my makefile to:

LIBS = -lstdc++ -lSDL_mixer -lvorbisidec -lmikmod -lSDL_image -lpng -lz -ljpeg $(shell $(PSPBIN)/sdl-config --libs) -lc

it states that it cannot find "lmikmod"

maybe it didnt install correctly to SDL_mixer, or am i linking to it wrong?

(btw, the only reason I ask is cayse I added -lmikmod to my make file and got an error so I assumed i was doing wrong)

[yaustar]

Check the directory for the mikmod library file. If it isn't there you need to install it.

[Percival]

I didn't know SDL_mixer makes use of libmikmod, because the README.PSP of SDL_mixer only mentions SDL, libogg, libvorbis and libTremor as prerequisites.

I only add -lvorbisidec in my makefile when using SDL_mixer.

[psiko_scweek]

really? well how do you get SDL_mixer to play MOD, IT or Midis?

or should i just scratch the the SDL_mixer
