D.gnu - Problems with SDL_Mixer on Mac

reply Mark Harviston <infinull gmail.com> writes:
I downloaded the files from Anders's website and modified the code for a 
game I am making. (its called Ugly Tank, if you care) and now I want to 
add sound. I promptly imported sdl.audio, and sdl.mixer.
sdl.audio imported fine.
sdl.mixer gave a link error:
/usr/bin/ld: Undefined Symbols:
--ModuleInfo_5mixer
collect2 ld returned with 1 exit status

I know SDL_Mixer works, because I loaded the aliens example from the SDL 
website, and it uses SDL_Mixer.

I know what the problem is now(the above is still valid)
the makefile is linking to the Framework and the *.os in the sdl/* local 
directory.
If i link (-L/sw/lib) to the fink librarys, the mixer problems would 
seem to go away, but I am left with "can't locate file for: -lSDL_d",
so how do I get both in the same directory?
can I copy the SDL_Mixer stuff from /sw/lib/?
what files do I copy?
thanks in advance.

That would be a symbol from the D code.

That should be OK.

You can add both of them, like this: -L . -L/sw/lib

SDL_d was just a lib that I did for the D "sdl/*.o",
so you could add the object files instead of that one.

Better to leave Fink's SDL_Mixer dylibs in /sw/lib,
but you can copy the "libSDL_d.a" to /usr/local/lib ?


Hopefully I'll get some time to clean this up soon..

Thank you, but
make LDFLAGS="-L/sw/lib/ -L.
still gives me the __ModuleInfo_5mixer undefined error again
I have tried many variations, like:
make LDFLAGS="-L. -L./sdl/ -L/sw/lib"
so maybe that is not the problem.
ideas?
like I said I know C++ programs can link to it, so theres gotta be a way
for D programs to.

Is the mixer.d actually *in* the D library ?

Maybe you need another .o, beyond the .a ?
(I think SDL_Mixer is an add-on to SDL, yes?)

SDL Mixer is an addon.

O.K. I added mixer.o to the .o list in the makefile
I tried a make and a make LDFLAGS="-L. -L/sw/lib -lSDL_mixer"
and low and behold it worked.
my main problem there was I forgot the _ but I figured that out.

Thanks for all the help,
