Compile them in what? What is your system?

svgalib has changed along with everything else in Linux as time goes by, ancient svgalib-using programs may no longer work with modern svgalib. But svgalib definitely still exists. There's also alternatives like console framebuffer, and (I think) directfb.

libSDL is a graphics library that can be built to support svgalib, console frame buffer, and tons of video libraries/methods I've never even heard of. (all of them optional. It can be built without video support entirely, though it'd be pretty useless without it...) Games use SDL the same way no matter what video backend SDL is built with. And there's lots and lots and lots of SDL games, new and old. If you can get SDL and framebuffer working on your system you might find a world of games. Heck, even X11 itself can be built to use an SDL backend these days.

Not using an X server backend for SDL means the video almost certainly won't be hardware-accelerated, though.

NAME

       SDL::SMPEG - a SDL perl extension

CATEGORY

       TODO

SYNOPSIS

	 $video = SDL::SMPEG->new( -name => 'pr0n.mpg' );

DESCRIPTION

       "SDL::SMPEG" adds support for MPEG video to your SDL Perl application.  SMPEGs are objects bound to surfaces, whose playback is controlled
       through the object's interface.

   METHODS
       o   "SDL::SMPEG::error()" returns any error messages associated with playback

       o   "SDL::SMPEG::audio(bool)" enables or disables audio playback, (on by default)

       o   "SDL::SMPEG::video(bool)" enables or disable video playback, (on by default)

       o   "SDL::SMPEG::loop(bool)" enables or disable playback looping (off by default)

       o   "SDL::SMPEG::volume(int)" set the volume as per the mixer volume

       o   "SDL::SMPEG:display(surface)" binds the clip to a display surface

       o   "SDL::SMPEG::scale([x,y]|[surface]|int)" scales the clip by either x,y factors, scales to the image dimensions, or a single scalar.

       o   "SDL::SMPEG::play()" plays the video clip, call "SDL::SMPEG::display()" before playing

       o   "SDL::SMPEG::pause()" pauses video playback

       o   "SDL::SMPEG::stop()" stops video playback

       o   "SDL::SMPEG::rewind()" resets the clip to the beginning

       o   "SDL::SMPEG::seek(offset)" seeks to a particular byte offset

       o   "SDL::SMPEG::skip(time)" skips to a particular time

       o   "SDL::SMPEG::region(rect)" takes a SDL::Rect and defines the display area

       o   "SDL::SMPEG::frame(int)" renders a specific frame to the screen

       o   "SDL::SMPEG::info()" returns a new "SDL::MPEG" object reflecting the current status

       o   "SDL::SMPEG::status()" returns either SMPEG_PLAYING or SMPEG_STOPPED or SMPEG_ERROR
