Alternative to Install Libsdl1.2-dev with less dependencies

Hello,

I try to install libsdl 1.2 dev with a minimum install.

Herewith the result with --no-install-recommends:

Code:

# apt-get install libsdl1.2-dev  --no-install-recommends

Vorgeschlagene Pakete:
  libasound2-doc libglib2.0-doc

Would you know an alternative package that would have a lighter dependency footprint?

Maybe someone has some time to make a better DEB for the stable.

Thank you and best regards,

Not using -dev packages?
-dev packages are supposed to include everything needed for the resulting binary (did you mean src-deb packages?).

While I'm not really sure what you're trying to accomplish (guessing it's either something embedded or just a very minimal desktop/laptop UI live/install image without the X-server, pulse-audio, ...), if you wish to use a stripped/smaller sdl1.2 binary you will have to strip some functionality.
If your platform is really that small in storage (must be something very small), do the building (will take even more space than your package dependencies) on a more powerful system and only install the resulting binaries.

Either grab the sources from Debian (src-deb, recommended) or directly from upstream.
Next just compile it (the full binary, not the -dev package) excluding whatever you don't want.
Example:

Quote:

../configure --disable-pulseaudio --disable-esd --disable-video-mir --disable-video-wayland --disable-video-x11 --disable-video-opengl [...]

Let's say I would be glad to use gcc on a simple SDL programm, without installing the WHOLE thing or too much...

For instance:

Code:

#include <SDL/SDL.h>

int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
    int gogogo = 1;
    SDL_Event event;

    SDL_Init(SDL_INIT_EVERYTHING);
    SDL_WM_SetCaption("Hello World! :D", NULL);
    SDL_SetVideoMode(800, 600, 32, SDL_HWSURFACE);
    while (gogogo) {
        SDL_WaitEvent(&event);
        if (event.type == SDL_QUIT)
            gogogo = 0;
    }
    SDL_Quit();
    return 0;
}

// $ gcc main.c -c ; gcc main.o -o go -lSDL ; ./go
