[yocto] what are libraries required to use SDL

[Tarek El-Sherbiny]

I'm using the MM soc i.MX6 from freescale. My application doesn't require a
full fledged desktop GUI so I'm basing my work on minimal image. The
application needs to play video "Possibly full screen" using gstreamer and
just draw some buttons over the video for control using SDL.

I have included libsdl - libsdl-image - libx11 and this is what was
installed:
root at imx6qsabrelite:~# rpm -qa |grep sdl
libsdl-1.2-0-1.2.15-r0.armv7a
libsdl-image-1.2-0-1.2.10-r3.armv7a

root at imx6qsabrelite:~# rpm -qa |grep libx
libxau6-1.0.7-r0.armv7a
libxdmcp6-1.1.1-r0.armv7a
libxml2-2.7.8-r7.armv7a
libxcb1-1.8.1-r0.armv7a
libx11-6-1.4.4-r3.armv7a
libxext6-1.3.1-r0.armv7a
libx11-xcb1-1.4.4-r3.armv7a
libxfixes3-5.0-r0.armv7a
libxrender1-0.9.7-r0.armv7a
libxi6-1.4.5-r0.armv7a
libxxf86vm1-1.1.2-r0.armv7a
libxdamage1-1.1.3-r1.armv7a
libxtst6-1.2.1-r0.armv7a

I still get the same error message so I'm not sure what else I need to do
to tell SDL to use HDMI video output?

If it easer to use DirectFB rather than libx11 I can do that. Is it
only directfb that I need to include? Is there any configuration parameters
that I need to enable?

Thanks in advance.
