I have troubles with using SDL with freepascal, specifically compile-time. I don't understand any of things that compiler says to me. The program is rather simple:
[code]PROGRAM chap3;
USES SDL, CRT;
VAR
screen,picture:pSDL_SURFACE;
source_rect,destination_rect:pSDL_RECT;
BEGIN
SDL_INIT(SDL_INIT_VIDEO);
SDL_QUIT;
END. It was more complex, but I got rid of most things so I can check what exactly causes troubles. The problem is that it seems that troublemaker is SDL unit itself. Here is compiler output for above:

Error: /usr/bin/ppc386 returned an error exitcode (normal if you did not specify a source file to be compiled)[/code]
As you can see I've tried even compiling from console, but with same results as in Lazarus. Here is more detailed report wit -va:
http://pastebin.com/PLn3TbABThing I tried:
- Copying over JEDI-SDL's units over built-in ones in /usr/share/fpcsrc/packages/sdl (and of course after that recompiling them so FPC would know what to do with them)
- Reinstalling binutils, fpc and lazarus
- Removing fpc and fpc-src and lazarus and removing all fpc/lazarus related content from home directory, then installing them again.
Nothing of it worked. FPC is 2.4.2 and lazarus is 0.9.30
Please help me with that, because I want to make some games and eventually make game creation software similar to tools like Stencyl or Multimedia Fusion, but 100% open source (but of course I'll start with small things, I have list of goals I'll go with it)
