Welp, maybe if I would actually read build instructions for links. I would not have bothered with this at all.

* svgalib

Latest release (1.9.25), patched so it'll compile on modern GNU/linux distros.

*** Compilation instructions
|
|
|
|
1) Clone repo or download release
|
|
2) *AS ROOT* run: ~# NO_HELPER=y make install~
|
|
|
|
This will compile but I can't help you with getting it to work beyond this, I found out that I don't need this library at all for
|
|
what I wanted to do.

|
**** Original description, probably not very relevant
|
|
|
|
This is an _alpha_ release. Don't use it if you are not interested in
|
|
svgalib development.
|
|
|
|
Program using svgalib 1.9.0 or later don't need root provoleges (suid
|
|
root). They do need access to /dev/svga, which is a char device
|
|
with major 209 and minor 0.
|
|
The module svgalib_helper need also be inserted.
|
|
|
|
To make the devices, and the module (kernel 2.4 or newer), change to directory
|
|
kernel/svgalib_helper, and type make install.
|
|
|
|
There is a compile time option to return to old behaviour, of using root
|
|
privileges to access /dev/mem, instead of svgalib helper. To compile for this
|
|
select the NO_HELPER option in Makefile.cfg.
