(old)Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

Im new to Linux in general and iv been trying to install SDL through source code and its just not happening..... Someone sent me a link to another puppy website of sorts but the .pet for puppy 5 404s if someone could help me out here it would be deeply appreciated and save me alot of already pent up aggravation.... Thank you very much! (Ijust wanna play some games man!) Have a good night folks and again thank you!

Hi...
Are you needing libSDL or just SDL -mame emulator-?
The mame pet 'sdlmame' its on the Puppy Package Manager (PPM on the kennels ). Check the 'fun' category to get it.

If its just the library, check this version::

Also check the PPM for the libs and you'll find some.

By the way, posting the name of the game and the version of the lib as you see after running the 'Missing Deps' app, you'll have a more specific answer...

Hope it helps.

Well funny enough, nothin.... It doesnt matter what game I try to run if its warzone 2100 or freeorion or whatever.... Im calling it quits with puppy sorry mate this is just to irritating for me to handle.

Sorry to hear that...
Check out this Free Orion post, which have instructions and a SFS file with the game+deps: http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=64407
