Compiling ps2sdk + sdl environment

[Geijer]

Hi,

I just recently started to look at ps2sdk and sdl and have some thoughts, I use svn.ps2dev.org/ps2 stuff on linux (Debian 4.0 Etch):

* Do there exist any documents about dependencies between projects?

* It took some time for me until I found out that you need to prepend the elf-filename by host: to get ps2client to work, maybe that should be included in the readme as an example or something?

* sdl seems to depend on ps2/trunk/libjpg but I could not compile it but changed to ps2/trunk/ps2sdk-ports/libjpeg that I could compile, and made this change:

Which is preferred? libjpg or libjpeg?

* Coul not get libpng to compile before I made this change:

* ps2/trunk/libtiff is missing "make install" (libtiff is required by sdlimage by default), do you want me to fix it?

* Who is "responsible" for the sdl-port if I find anything that I want to discuss?

This is the start, I will probably come back with more questions later :)

BTW, thanks all for your effort on PS2SDK and stuff!

I don't have any specific answers (not familiar with ps2 sdl), but I think any additional documentation or improvements you have would be welcome; you can talk to oobles about getting commit access to the svn server or post patches here and someone can commit them.

libtiff still doesn't have an install target. The lib itself is pretty obvious, but not so obvious are which h files to copy.

EDIT: Also, that echo issue still hasn't been handled.
