Here is the app I'm trying to compile: #include <SDL/SDL.h> #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> int main() { SDL_Surface *screen; SDL_Surface *background; SDL_Surface *logo; SDL_Rect src, dest; Uint32 colorkey; if (SDL_Init(SDL_INIT_VIDEO) != 0) { printf("Unable to initialize SDL: %sn", SDL_GetError()); return 1; } atexit(SDL_Quit); screen = SDL_SetVideoMode(256,256,32,0); if (screen == NULL) { printf("Unable to set video mode: %sn",SDL_GetError()); return 1; } background = SDL_LoadBMP("background.bmp"); if (background == NULL) { printf("Unable to load bitmap.n"); return 1; } logo = SDL_LoadBMP("logo.bmp"); if (background == NULL) { printf("Unable to load bitmap.n"); return 1; } src.x=0; src.y=0; src.w=logo->w; src.h=logo->h; dest.x=100; dest.y=100; dest.w=logo->w; dest.h=logo->h; SDL_BlitSurface(logo, &src, background, &dest); SDL_FreeSurface(logo); src.x=0; src.y=0; src.w=background->w; src.h=background->h; dest.x=0; dest.y=0; dest.w=background->w; dest.h=background->h; SDL_BlitSurface(background, &src, screen, &dest); SDL_FreeSurface(background); SDL_UpdateRect(screen, 0, 0, 0, 0); SDL_Delay(3000); return 0; } This is the output I get: [dana@digory PLG-4-3]$ make gcc -o sdl01.exe -lSDL main.cpp /tmp/cc0VcarP.o(.eh_frame+0x11): undefined reference to `__gxx_personality_v0' collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make: *** [all] Error 1 [dana@digory PLG-4-3]$ Is there any fix for this? I kinda NEED to be able to compile SDL stuff... For a school project. Thanks in advance!

I thought that OpenOffice.org and StarOffice were supposed to work with those files. ?

I wonder why the ALSA guys don't just port the OSS driver to ALSA, and get decent sound...?

The point of my tutorial is to get away from ALSA because it sounds like a tin can...... I'm not going to move to ALSA until it sounds decent and my games play the sounds as they happen, not a second or two later. Call me picky, but that's how it worked in Windows, and I expect nothing less in Linux.

Did you talk to Ryan about that? Does he feel that it was really a walk in the park?

The only reason is because this is a gaming console, so it'd be more professional to have just a load bar and no text. So far, I can get a load bar with text, or no text with no load bar. I'm recompiling the kernel now.

Yeah, it is.

Creative have actually been helping the Linux situation. If you know of any other sound card that sounds as good and supports 4 speakers and doesn't suck ass in Linux, you let me know, and I'll see about switching.

But... I'm not done yet!

That's as close as I've got it so far. I'm missing this: * GTK 1 AND 2 theme. I downloaded one, but I didn't install it yet, nor do I know how to select it. * Rounded window decor. Preferable an IceWM theme. And preferably with NO border, as Macs have no border. I guess that's about it. Possibly newer icons, but I just didn't set up the ones I did download yet.

Obviously Aureal didn't stand a chance, otherwise they would have been number one. Lemme ask you, do you hate NVidia too? Creative is one of the few companies that actually supported Linux at all. Hence their open-sourced drive...

Since I don't work at Creative, I wouldn't know. How about you email/phone/fax them and see for yourself...

I don't want to install Aurora. I already have a nice bootsplash logo going on here. I want to hide the kernel messages... That's it.

I tried console=/dev/tty2, quiet, and so forth. Nothing works properly. The closest one is console=/dev/null, but then my progress bar doesn't go... Is there anyway I can do this? Or even just set my font to be 100% transparent?

Not a prob.Do you mean that Linux can do that now? (move all menubars to the top and switch depending on focus) Always could, since I can remember... It just works with mostly only Qt apps (in KDE) and I think Gnome will do it with GTK apps, possibly by default... I can't recall.

I tried that Gnome theme thing, and it doesn't work right.

Bluecurve? Uhh... No... It doesn't look anything like Mac OS X... Have you even seen a Red Hat screenshot?

I added a new tutorial today. I got my bass and treble back! http://mdkxp.by-a.com/

Did I say that? Of course they will. That's where most of Red Hat's ex-users are, I'm sure. And that will increase. Hopefully dramatically. :o

You know what... Someone has already thought of that idea, and it is being worked on. More information at a later date.

That's what I wanna do. I wanna get rid of supermount (again), patch and enable *both* pre-epmt and low latency, and yet still have a splash screen when booting. This is because I NEED a splash screen for my gaming console project at school. Anyone know what I need to do to have support for the splash screens?

No. Sounds like SuSE. No matter what, Red Hat CAN'T become the Microsoft of Linux. It CAN'T. Others have written essays on it, so I won't waste my time (read: I'm lazy). Just have a little search on google or PCLO or something.

It's the full version you download. The only thing that is a trial about it is the license agreement. I used it once (that time that it picked up a DOS virus in a compiled Wine file) and haven't used it since, so I probably won't buy it. I don't even have it installed either.

While Mandrake was striding to make their download edition 100% freely distributable, Red Hat was pacing the other direction... http://help.gnomedesktop.org/forums/viewto...php?p=4453#4453

I used to use gtk-theme-selector-capplet or something like that to switch between my different GTK themes. This program seems to be missing now. What is it that you use to change these?
