Uncooperative IMG_Load
« on: February 22, 2012, 07:01:07 am »
Hello all, me again with yet another question.

Has anyone had any luck with SDL's IMG_Load function? I don't seem to be able to get it to work in a Dingux executable, even with a simple test program that does nothing more than try to load a 16bit 320x240 TGA (which of course compiles and runs in CodeBlocks). A "cout" of the returned SDL_Surface seems to produce something resembling a valid pointer, but nothing seems to want to display.

Is the legacy Dingux SDL library more picky about which image file types it supports?

SDL_image has to be compiled with TGA support. It's the case on OpenDingux, but I'm not sure it's the same for legacy Dingux.

Hmm.  From what you say, I suspect that's the case with legacy as well. Do you know which formats are supported "out-of-the-box", as it were?

Edit: Looks like .png is supported. I'll convert the TGAs and work with those instead. Thanks for the heads-up about TGA support, Ayla.
