Run in this order
```
sudo apt-get install libdrm-dev libgdm-dev
```

Next downlad the SDL source tarball

```
cd sdl-src
./configure --enable-video-kmsdrm
make -j4

Usage
=====

To compile:

`make all`

To install:

`make install`

To uninstall:

`make uninstall`

Wifi
----

The makefile by default will call a script that will generate a wifi qr code
for you. You can add your SSID and password by editing the `WIFI_SSID` and
`WIFI_PASS` variables in the make file, or by calling the script yourself in
`./scripts`. You can cleanup the wifi image at any time by calling 
`make clean-wifi`. Next time the executable is built it will regenerate the
image.

The qr code generation relies on the program `qrencode`. It can be installed on
any debian system using `sudo apt install qrencode`. By default the image has a
transparent background. If you would like a different background, you will need
to adjust wifi.cpp to adjust where it is located to your preference.
