Bug 40224 – optional libcaca 0.9 support for libsdl 1.2.6

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Simon Reynolds 2004-02-02 14:52:21 UTC]

libCaca is basically aalib, with color! This little patch allows libcaca support in libsdl to be included with a "caca" use flag. You'll need a more recent version of libCaca, an ebuild for 0.9 can be found attached to bug #38657.
Once you have support in libsdl for this little library, you can play movies in color ascii: "mplayer -vo sdl:caca"

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.




You'll need to add a local use flag for "caca" to media-libs/libsdl .

has this been sent upstream to the libsdl peeps ?

This patch appears to have been written by the author of libCaca, I had assumed he was waiting to submit it to libSDL until he had stabilized the api, (it seems that's planned for the 1.0 release). I could be wrong about that though.

merge r3 and r4

I saw that the libsdl-1.2.6-r4 was based on version 1.3 of libsdl-1.2.6-r3.
Since there is version 1.6 of libsdl-1.2.6-r3 in portage, i made the r4 changes
on version 1.6.

1.2.7-r1 has this patch now, thanks
