Hi,
I'm trying to revamp the display initialization code:
* First use a qapi type for the display options, so we can use
-blockdev style command line parsing for -display (not there yet,
but closer).
* Second initialize all user interfaces the same way and build a
registry for UIs. Drops lots of #ifdefs from vl.c
* Finally this should make it *alot* easier to build user interfaces
as modules.
For SDL we already have sdl.mo defined in ui/Makefile.objs. so I tried
that first. Just flipping CONFIG_SDL from 'y' to 'm' doesn't work
though. sdl support isn't build, neither with nor without
--enable-modules.
Any clues?
thanks,
Gerd

Perhaps you're missing a
common-obj-m += ui/
line in Makefile?

Adding that helps indeed.
