Hi,

I don't know a lot of C++ programming, but I want to give a try and port some simple SDL sources to MorphOS, just to see how it works with compiling.

After installing MorphOS SDK from MDC, I installed also the PowerSDL_SDK files into "GG:usr/" and TinyGL_SDK as the readme file says (include drawer in "os-include" drawer and libs drawer in "ppc-morphos" drawer). I also installed the libnix update file found on MDC.

I am not really sure if this is ok to start compiling, so I decided to download a ready-compiled little game for MorphOS from Aminet. The file has its source code inside with the "makefile" and "makefile.morphos" files.

According to that, this "makefile.morphos" file means that when I type from CLI "make" then I will have an executable file or not? Because it brings me with some error.

If you have any ideas to help me, I will appreciate it very much really. Also I want to ensure if I copied the files from PowerSDL_SDK and TinyGL_SDK into the correct paths (drawers).

P.S.: A big thanks to Fab for helping me until now.

if you want to compile with makefile.morphos you must tell make this:

make -f makefile.morphos

or rename makefile.morphos to just Makefile then make will find it per default.

And if you're a beginner.. start with (and stay with) C and not C++. It will safe you a lot dead brain cells in the end. ;)

Better again, start with "Hello World" and progress "slowly", not all SDL apps compile out of the box, and Morphos Developer Connection is a good place to ask for help..

Sorry I forgot to mention that I already did this, tokai. I just renamed the morphos file into Makefile so it will be recognizable from "make".

I copy also PowerSDL and TinyGL SDK files into GG:ppc-morphos directory. Some projects worked with that.
