PyGame running on the TizenConf Developer Device

This article was Originally posted at thp.io:
How to get Python and related libraries / packages running on Tizen (1.0 “Larkspur”, as shipped on the TizenConf developer device).
Prerequisites:

A device with Tizen 1.0 “Larkspur” installed (emulator might work too, but untested)
The Scratchbox Build System set up for Tizen: SBS
The “sdb” utility from the Tizen SDK (usually installed as SDK/sdb/sdb)

Building Python 2.7 from source

Building SDL 1.2, PyGame and related libraries

TODO: Add instructions
Build order (prefix is always /opt/sdl-1.2.15/):

SDL 1.2.15
SDL_ttf 2.0.11, with: freetype 2.4.9
SDL_image 1.2.12, with: libpng 1.5.10, jpegsrc v6b
SDL_mixer 1.2.12, with: libogg 1.3.0, libvorbis 1.3.3, smpeg SVN
PyGame 1.9.1 (requires all of the above + Python)

./configure line needed to find some libraries:

PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$PKG_CONFIG_PATH:/opt/sdl-1.2.15/lib/pkgconfig/ ./configure \
    --prefix=/opt/sdl-1.2.15/ \
    --with-sdl-prefix=/opt/sdl-1.2.15/ \
    CPPFLAGS="-I /opt/sdl-1.2.15/include/" \
    LDFLAGS="-L/opt/sdl-1.2.15/lib/"

jpegsrc needs make install-lib in addition to make install to build. Also, you need to add -fPIC to CFLAGS in jpegsrc’s Makefile.
