SDL 2.516 Tutorial::LunarLander Error
Hi SDLPerl Homiez,
I just tried to install SDL 2.516 from the CPAN onto my Ubuntu box &&
I'm perplexed as the install process seemed to succeed but when I ran:
[...@akua9kh0zq~/.tmp]perl -MSDL::Tutorial::LunarLander=lander.pl -e1
[-] created 'lander.pl'
[-] created 'images'
[-] created 'images/ship.jpg'
[-] created 'images/background.jpg'
[...@akua9kh0pf~/.tmp]perl lander.pl
Can't call method "w" on an undefined value at lander.pl line 22.
I also tried `perl -MSDL::Tutorial -e 1` && a black window flashed on
the screen kinda as expected && `perl
-MSDL::Tutorial::Animation=sdl_anim.pl -e 1` did properly animate the
blue rectangle slow then fast.
Any ideas why lander.pl line 19
SDL::Image::load('images/background.jpg'); would fail? Thanks in
advance for any help. I want to get at least basic SDLPerl stuff
working to learn from (if not FrozenBubble).
Peace,
-...@cpan

Re: OpenGL.xs improvements
Hi Geoffrey (or 'f), Sorry I can't answer your questions && don't have commit bits to give out but I do have an AMD64 Gentoo GNU/Linux machine with dual nVidia 6800GTs, binary 'nvidia' XOrg drivers with my 2.6.12-r6 kernel, and Perl 5.8.8. I'd be glad to help test your updates. I've also got a Vaio Core Duo laptop running WindowsXP with what I'm pretty sure is an nVidia 7400 Go for video/3D acceleration and a recent ActiveState Perl on there (probably 5.8.7). Sorry I can't help with any PPC Mac stuff either but I'd be glad to assist in SDL_Perl patch-testing, switching to GLEW, etc. however I can. Please let me know. Thanks.

And of course OpenGL.pm is turning up the friendly competition by suddenly adding support for lots of new stuff after being unchanged for a great while. It seems the time has finally come to start the oft-delayed merge of my "OpenGL fixes for 1.x" tree into the official SDL_Perl 2.x tree. I've pulled a copy of the latest SVN version (r26 as I write this) and have started looking around to understand the build system and other changes since 1.x. At this point, I've got a few questions before I get started with the meat of the merge: 1. Where can I find the scripts/ directory containing the constant module generators (gl_const.pl, sdl_const.pl, and so on)? 2. Do you prefer updates in the form of emails containing inline patches, emails with patch attachments, or direct svn commits? 3. If svn commits are preferred, how do I register for a commitbit? 4. Do you prefer each patch/commit to be exactly one change, or are multiple simultaneous changes allowed if they are all small? 5. Would you accept a patch/commit reordering the functions in OpenGL.xs, either to pure alphabetical, or by GL/GLU version and then alphabetically? (This is not a requirement for me to do the other merges, but it makes it much easier to make sure everything is complete when comparing against the OpenGL references. Plus it's just nice to be able to find things easily when working in the source ) 6. Any objection to switching from ifdef for various GL/GLU versions to one of the standard extension loader libraries such as GLsdk, GLee, or GLEW? (Right now I'm leaning towards GLEW because it seems to be equal or favored by the ARB, Khronos, and nVidia.) Among other things this would allow the builds to be independent of borken system headers, and properly handle runtime GL/GLU versions not matching compile time, important for packaged versions of SDL_Perl. 7. I would be doing primary work on Debian testing, i686 and amd64. I also have access to a Mac G4 running 10.3.9 that I can use to test my changes for portability, but I have no Mac compiling skills. Anyone have directions for getting everything necessary to compile SDL_Perl installed/built on a PPC Mac? -'f
Re: this ML still being used?
Hi John, This list sees extremely low traffic but, if I remember correctly, David was heard from in December as making progress on a new release. I'm sorry I can't speak to where latest released versions or branches exist at the moment but others on this list (who admittedly post very infrequently) probably can. I have personally just wanted to keep a finger on the pulse of SDLPerl since I'd like to use it someday to make simple games and utilities in the event that I ever get X.Org running smoothly on my Gentoo box. Every attempt has been unstable for me so far... maybe due to my dual GeForce 6800GTs overheating or something. The resulting hangs have been sporadic and annoying so I'll primarily stick to text-mode until I find time to diagnose further. I want a solid quad display setup but it has been elusive. Sorry this list probably isn't the panacea of vigorous SDLPerl development you may have been hoping for but it's likely to still be the closest. -Pip On 3/3/07, John Gabriele <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Hi, Just subscribed.

How do I figure out what part is the problem like maybe some temperamental DLL or dang I don't even know like randomly it tries to access memory outside of what it's been allocated so it dies but sometimes it gets lucky memory-wise so it runs fine? =( I can send you the code to my app if you are interested in helping me figure out what's wrong but I suspect maybe I need a different set of DLLs for Perl56 or SDL so my code probably won't help you diagnose my problem. I'm at a loss for how to track something like this down. Is there some kind of debugger or memory watcher tool or DLL monitor? Should I ask for people to send me different versions of the DLLs so that I can swap them around to see if I can isolate the culprit? Thanks much. [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I've tried both. The installers try to run `ppm install --location="c:\Program Files\SDL_Perl\"` or something similar yet my ppm does not support this syntax. Unknown option: location I uncompressed the SDL_Perl-1.19.1.win32.1.tar.gz manually && tried copying the blib/lib/auto/ stuff into c:\Perl\lib\auto\ which let the tests get past the autosplit.ix failure. Now the tests bring up a dialog that says: (Window Title) perl.exe - Unable To Locate Component (Window Text)This application has failed to start because Perl56.dll was not found. Re-installing might fix this. *OK* Dismissing that dialog spits the following out in my 4NT shell: Can't load 'C:/Perl/lib/auto/SDL_perl/SDL_perl.dll' for module SDL_perl: load_file:The specified module could not be found at C:/Perl/lib/DynaLoader.pm line 229 . at C:/Perl/lib/SDL.pm line 9 Compilation failed in require at C:/Perl/lib/SDL.pm line 9. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at C:/Perl/lib/SDL.pm line 9. Compilation failed in require at checkkeys.pl line 3. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at checkkeys.pl line 3. The SDL_perl.dll is definitely in that directory so it must not be able to load it. I'm running ActiveState's perl v5.8.3 build 809 for MSWin32-x86-multi-thread as my main Perl install. I have a 5.6 hanging around in c:\Perl\Perl5.6\ so I changed my path to look for the bin/ in there && copied all the SDL stuff between lib/ dirs. This got pretty close... my utility actually ran && created a window but when I gave it a mouse click (event), it seg faulted (SDL Parachute Deployed). All the test apps ran fine except testconsole.pl && testshell.pl since they need auto/SDL/ConsoleInit.al && auto/SDL/ConsoleAddC.al which I don't have. I'll mess with my utility to see if I can figure out why it's crashing. Thanks again for the links. [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Does anyone have a working Win32 SDL_Perl?
Hello SDL_Perl Dudes, I have an SDL_Perl app I wrote a couple years ago that I'm interested in reviving on a fast WinXP box I have access to now. The app runs on my Debian GNU/Linux machine but it is horribly slow. All my attempts to build any version of SDL_Perl for this Windows box have been unsuccessful (in the same ways as have been described on this list prior). So now I'm asking if anyone has a working Win32 SDL_Perl that they could please zip up && send me a link to. I figure a good whole zip of C:\Perl\ (even from 5.6 or whatever old version if need be) should contain all the necessary SDL stuff. Like I guess especially if you have a working Win32 Frozen Bubble, I know my SDL utility app will work. Maybe I also need the same DLLs that were built with your install. Do you know? Is there any reason why this can't work? Something like this might be helpful to many others while better versions are being worked on. Thanks in advance. On a related note: Who do I contact or what can I do to be most helpful in getting SDL_Perl in good shape again? I'm eager to code, document, test, etc. whenever I have time. What material must I familiarize myself with first? What are the major problems we face? I can dedicate at least 7 hours each week for the next few if it would be beneficial. Please guide me if you know the path to SDL_Perl harmony. =) Thank you. Shalom. -Pip Stuart <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
