[Qemu-devel] Launch qemu without loading libSDL?

[David Barrett <dbarrett@quinthar.com>]

Continuing on this thread, is there any way to launch the pre-compiled 
binaries in such a fashion that they don't dynamically load the SDL 
libraries at runtime?  For example:

[root@a3 /]# qemu -nographic ... etc ...
qemu: error while loading shared libraries: libSDL-1.2.so.0: cannot open 
shared object file: No such file or directory
[root@a3 /]#

Ideally if the -nographic flag were there, then it won't try to load the 
SDL libraries and would "just work" on a server that has no video 
output.  Everything else looks like it's ready to go:

[root@a3 /]# ldd /usr/local/bin/qemu
         libm.so.6 => /lib/tls/libm.so.6 (0x00917000)
         libz.so.1 => /usr/lib/libz.so.1 (0x0093c000)
         libSDL-1.2.so.0 => not found
         libpthread.so.0 => /lib/tls/libpthread.so.0 (0x009a3000)
         librt.so.1 => /lib/tls/librt.so.1 (0x00554000)
         libutil.so.1 => /lib/libutil.so.1 (0x009cf000)
         libc.so.6 => /lib/tls/libc.so.6 (0x007e4000)
         /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x007c6000)
[root@a3 /]#


Any suggestions for how to suppress loading of libSDL, or perhaps trick 
  it into loading a "null" implementation of libSDL that does nothing?

Thanks!
