I wanna ./configure and make Tempest for Eliza from http://www.erikyyy.de/tempest/

Needs libSDL

What i want to do is add it to the live cd. (customize it)
Do we have libSDL in the repo, and is there a way to burn the cd thru windows?

I'm pretty sure that before you can configure or make, you need the gcc1.dsl from mydsl. Beyond that, I'm not really sure how to proceed.

There are a few tools for making dsl extensions. Mikshaw's makeUCI script is included in the lastest version. You might use that if you don't need to write anything to the program. There is a little documented deb2dsl script, too. To use that, don't configure and make yet, but you'll need to install dsl-dpkg.dsl (and possibly gnu-utils.dsl?). This will make your system a debian system. Use synaptic to get the package, and then use the deb2dsl script. Then you'll have an extension that you should be able to load each time like any other.

Of course, if tempest for eliza isn't in the debian package tree, then you'll need to configure and make.

I don't know enough to tell you anything about remastering the cd. I've tried several times myself and haven't been successful yet.

cmanb: that script (ucitool) is merely for umounting (uninstalling) uci packages. I do have a script that "helps" build packages, but basically all it does is package up a directory structure to save having to enter commands.

cyberoidx: In addition to gcc, you will also need the sdl headers (includes). libSDL is in DSL, but it is only a runtime library. I'm not sure which headers are needed...you'll probably need to run configure to find out, since it doesn't seem to be in the tempest docs.

The mkmydsl script (Apps -> Tools -> Make myDSL CD remaster) should help you build a new ISO with extra files.

Oh yeah, that makeuci wasn't included was it? I've had it chilling in my home directory, though, for a long time. I've enjoyed playing with it. I haven't really messed with deb2dsl yet, but I'm enjoying learning about making my own extensions. Especially the uci's. So clever.

You can get the sdl libs here:
http://www.libsdl.org/download-1.2.php

I made a dsl extension for the sdl libs for a game that I occasionaly play. If you want the extension send me an e-mail
