aalib libaa

hi,

does anyone around here have any experiences in
programming the aalib? I would like to try writing
a converter from mpeg to ascii. But all my simplest
programs resultet in strange error messages from the
linker. What I need is a simple piece of code (which
for example only draws a line on the screen or so) and
a working Makefile...

thx, koem

ps: for everyone who doesn't know what the hell I'm
    talking about: download xaos at
    http://www.paru.cas.cz/~hubicka/XaoS/download.html
    and press v 4 4 (this is how you do it in the linux 
    version) to change to aa-driver and begin to cry. :)

What do they look like?

Sorry I can;t help with that but if you can tell me what your makefile
looks like and/or what you execute to compile.

press "START." You can work out the rest of the controls   ^-^-^-@@-^-^-^

mplayer can use aalib indirectly with SDL. You may need to recompile SDL
with aalib support.
