Where are the SDL libs now?

Forum thread started by MichaelPeppers on Sun, 2013-11-10 23:07

So... I came back to Haiku after a long while and while I'm pretty amazed by Package Management (neat, clean, convenient) I'm struggling to find some packages that were included inside the Installoptionalpackage script, namely the SDL libs. Where do I have to get them now? Haikuporter?

(Also, I've noticed that the boot time increased. A lot. About 5-6 seconds more. Yeah, it's still a fast boot but... I got so used to Haiku's former ultra-fast booting that the current situation is putting me off.)

There is work in progress towards that (arfonzo is doing the Qt recipe, and
scott the SDL ones).

The SDL .hpkg files are coming along. There's several of them. I'm starting with the SDL1.2 ones and then will move onto the SDL2.0 ones. I'm hoping to get the 1.2 ones ready before GCI starts which is on Nov 18th, 2013. You can see the recent HaikuPorts commits here: http://bb.haikuports.org/haikuports/commits/branch/master

Perfect, thanks. Guess I'll just wait a bit then.
