I did that for SDL 1.2 (LGPL), and it worked fine, with no need to define LD_LIBRARY_PATH before running my SDL apps.
A static linked app does not depend on incompatible library versions on older kindles, so it can work on new and old kindle models alike. I have tested some of my code on firmware 2.5.8 though 5.0.4, and it works fine with no complaints.
Of course, you need to build your apps to look for other resources in a /mnt/us subdirectory too...  |
cool
geekmaster! we're like-minded, that's exactly what I do all the time (except I have an opt directory for all my custom applications and libs, as in
/mnt/us/opt/lib/.
