Announce: JiveLite - cut down squeezebox control application

[Jeff07971]

It appears the framebuffer doesn't provide the support SDL needs for the color depth.

Try reducing the depth to 16bit by adding this before starting jivelite.

fbset -depth 16

Hi Ralphy

Thanks for that, I tried it and it did indeed flip the display but screwed up both colour (obviously) and aspect ratio.
I tried with Debian 9.3 as well and was the same.

I thought it might be easy but it looks like its not so I'll stick with how it is.

Thanks for trying though

Jeff

Is there a keyboard shortcut for play previous track? I can only find play next track.

So I just installed Ubuntu Mate 18.04.1 and I'm trying to compile jivelite but running into issues, most likely because I'm a novice and don't know what I'm doing.
Following this guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingEasyHowTo I installed build-essential, checkinstall, and git-core.
Next, I downloaded jivelite-master from github, extracted it to /usr/local/src, cc'd to /usr/local/src/jivelite-master/src and ran make and got this error:

cc -I. -I/include/luajit-2.0 -I/usr/include/SDL -Wall -fPIC platform_linux.c -c -o platform_linux.o
In file included from platform_linux.c:9:0:
common.h:62:10: fatal error: SDL.h: No such file or directory
 #include <SDL.h>
          ^~~~~~~
compilation terminated.
Makefile:25: recipe for target 'platform_linux.o' failed
make: *** [platform_linux.o] Error 1

Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

You need to install a bunch of dependencies. Can't find the list right now - perhaps someone has it handy?

Step #4 from this post list a few, don't know if they are relevant

To compile on Debian I do this :-

apt update -y && apt upgrade -y && apt install -y git-core build-essential libluajit-5.1-dev libsdl1.2-dev libsdl-ttf2.0-dev libsdl-gfx1.2-dev libsdl-image1.2-dev libexpat1-dev sudo network-manager
git clone https://github.com/ralph-irving/jivelite.git

cd jivelite
make PREFIX=/usr/

You're missing the SDL library - probably not installed

Check if there a package already built for libsdl (not libsdl2 I think) - you'll need developer version which has SDL.h

Hi, Ronnie - it has indeed been a while.
