Hi bigboss25,

sorry no french, just a french name and some "not polite" french words ;-)

You can grab my SDL sources from :

sdl for nios2 (http://drunken.intershit.com/sdl.tar.gz)

look in the file CONFIGURE.NIOS for my ./configure options. After compiling, the library is in /src/.libs/ or in the directory you specified with --prefix.

Some small example programms from :

example sdl programms (http://drunken.intershit.com/examples.tar.gz)

And a thread at gmane about uclinux and libsdl :

gmane sdl on uclinux (http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.sdl/4795)

The next few days i will try to use the Nioswiki Framebuffer with a separate external

SRAM chip. Maybe this will speed up SDL on NIOS2!?

Let me know if you need some 3D/Opengl stuff for Nios. I got PicoGL,TinyGL and

some parts of libfixgl running.
