Re: [glob2-devel] glob2 without X

[fede]

Found a possible fix for this, just joined #SDL on freenode. The answer 
follows:

[23/11/2009 19:08] <fede_> hi
[23/11/2009 19:09] <fede_> there is a way to have a server program using 
SDL_net without having GUI dependencies ?
[23/11/2009 19:10] <bobbens> you can compile SDL without video support
[23/11/2009 19:10] <bobbens> with dummy video driver only
[23/11/2009 19:12] <fede_> oh, what is the value for SDL_VIDEODRIVER ?
[23/11/2009 19:12] <fede_> in the FAQ it isn't listed
[23/11/2009 19:12] <bobbens> you don't have to initialize the video subsystem
[23/11/2009 19:13] <fede_> just this?
[23/11/2009 19:13] <bobbens> well from the POV of an application using SDL you 
don't need any "GUI dependencies"
[23/11/2009 19:13] <bobbens> it's just that the guy using your app will need a 
version of SDL without "GUI dependencies" either
[23/11/2009 19:13] <fede_> sorry, i don't understand what means POV
[23/11/2009 19:13] <bobbens> point of view
[23/11/2009 19:14] <fede_> ^^
[23/11/2009 19:14] <bobbens> if you don't initialize the video subsystem, it's 
like video doesn't exist in your app
[23/11/2009 19:14] <bobbens> and you can still use timers, SDL_net and other 
stuff you initialized
[23/11/2009 19:14] <fede_> oh thank you very much!
