GNU-isms should be avoided wherever possible for portability, please avoid the use of GNU-isms in your code, this may be problematic when using this library in projects which use non-GNU-compliant compilers.

I'm building "fat" SDL 1.3 libraries for MacOSX, but now I am running into the
issue that audio does not work on PowerPC macintoshes if you build the library
on an Intel.
The problem is that configure hard-codes the byteorder, which is then stored in
SDL_config.h
Actually after my patch commited in r4928 MinGW configure seems to generate broken Makefile due MSYS bash bug. (Attaching cure/patch below)
The problem is that:
TEST=`echo 'one\\
two\\
three\\'`
echo "$TEST"
Should echo:
one\
two\
three\
Does it on Linux, Mac.. all UNIX but not on MSYS (MinGW) which outputs:
one\two\three\
(new lines removed, probably it doesn't like backslashes)
Probably this bug should be submitted to MSYS team, but not waiting till MSYS gets it fixed (they have very slow release cycles) here goes simple cure...
My patch simply replaces single quoted SED rules where we needed newlien injection with double quoted ones.
Tested on Mac, Linux & MinGW. Please review it ASAP coz this may be showstopper for everybody compiling with MinGW.

Hello,
I maintain a cross-platform project that uses SDL.
One of the users who runs OSX has told me that he has problems with linking to
SDL due to missing -framework option.
I think that the problem is because of this:
'sdl-config --libs' outputs '-L/opt/local/lib -lSDLmain -lSDL
-Wl,-framework,Cocoa'
All the options are passed to the linker except the last one. I think that the
good output should be just:
'-L/opt/local/lib -lSDLmain -lSDL -framework Cocoa'
since those options (--libs) are passed to the linker, so the '-Wl' option is
redundant and possibly harmful in this very case
I use autotools with libtool to do the build...
Regards,
Matej

configure.in will enable dynamic loading by default for modules, but some of
the checks only check /lib, /usr/lib, /usr/local/lib, etc...
It needs to also account for systems using /lib64, /usr/lib64, and
/usr/local/lib64.
For example, openSUSE x86_64 distro uses these style paths. Otherwise, i586
gets dynamically loaded, but x86_64 doesn't.
It also update configure.in to compile the linux version of the library. The three versions are all dummies
implementations that do nothing. They are being checked in as place holders. Mostly, I just wanted to get
place holders and the configure.in checked in.
I have prepared a set of patches to readd WindowsCE support to SDL 1.3.
I've created a new GAPI/Rawframebuffer and a DirectDraw renderer.
Both renderers are work in progress and there are several unimplemented
cases. (Notably
RenderLine/RenderPoint/RenderFill/QueryTexturePixels/UpdateTexture and
texture blending )
Nevertheless I am successfully using these renderers together with the
SDL software renderer. (On most devices the SDL software renderer will
be much faster as there are only badly optimized vendor drivers available)
I send these patches now in this unpolished state because there seems to
be some interest in win ce and someone has to start supporting SDL 1.3
Now on to the patches:
wince_events_window_fixes.patch
fixes some wince incompatibilities and adds fullscreen support via
SHFullScreen. NOTE: This patch shouldn't have any side effects on
Windows, but I have NOT tested it on Windows, so please double-check.
This patch doesn't dependent on the following ones.
wince_renderers_system.patch
This patch does all necessary modifications to the SDL system.
- it adds the renderers to the configure system
- it adds the renderers to win32video
SDL_ceddrawrender.c
SDL_ceddrawrender.h
SDL_gapirender_c.h
SDL_gapirender.c
SDL_gapirender.h
these files add the new render drivers and should be placed in
src/video/win32
Some notes to people who want to test this:
- I have only compiled sdl with ming32ce, so the VisualC files are not
up to date
- As mingw32ce has no ddraw.h this file must be taken from the MS SDK
and modified to work with gcc
- I had to modify line 2611 in configure.in to
EXTRA_LDFLAGS="$EXTRA_LDFLAGS -lcoredll -lcommctrl -lmmtimer
-Wl,--image-base -Wl,0x10000"
otherwise GetCPinfo wouldn't link. If someone knows whats causing this
I'd be happy to hear about it.
It would be great if these patches could make their way into SVN as this
would make collaboration much much easier.
I'm out of office for the next week and therefore will be unavailable
via email.
Regards

Subject: New QNX patches
Please apply patch qnx4.diff, which is attached. What has been done:
1)Added back OpenGL ES renderer for QNX target. Added few corrections to
OpenGL ES renderer to let it work under QNX. OpenGL ES renderer do not
support textures under QNX, so I think some additional work must be done.
2) Added GL_OES_query_matrix extension to SDL_opengles.h header file, which
required by OpenGL ES 1.1 specification.
3) Added attribute clearing at the entrance of function
SDL_GL_GetAttribure(). Added error checking into the function
SDL_GL_GetAttribure(), because some attributes can't be obtained in OpenGL
ES 1.0.
4) Porting testdyngles to OpenGL ES 1.0 (1.1 has glColor4ub() and
glColor4f() functions, but 1.0 has glColor4f() only).
5) Added error checking after obtaining attributes using
SDL_GL_GetAttribute() function to the testgl2 and testgles.
6) Small correction to testmultiaudio with printing errors.
7) Added software and accelerated OpenGL ES 1.0 support into the QNX GF
driver.
Please remove ./src/audio/nto directory - it will not be used anymore.
Please create ./src/audio/qsa directory and add content of the archive
qsa.tar.gz into this directory. I rewrote some sound code, added support for
multiple audio cards, enumeration, etc. Added initial support for capture.
As far as I can understand SDL 1.3 is not supporting audio capture right now
? Sam, Am I right ? Or audio capture must be supported through the
PlayDevice routine ?
And last, please put file SDL_gf_opengles.c to the ./src/video/qnxgf
directory. It is OpenGL ES 1.1 emulation layer for some functions, which are
not supported by OpenGL ES 1.0.

Subject: [SDL] SDL 1.3 WinCE backend
as promised, I've started to work on the WinCE backend of SDL 1.3
I've modified the win32 video backend and the gdi renderer, to work
properly in WinCE.
The results till now are great, but there is still some work to do.
Attached are two patches with my changes.
I would be happy if someone could review and propably commit them.
The first one (configure.in.patch) should be straight forward without
any side effects.
The second one does the necessary changes to the win32 backend. I was
really unhappy to start slicing this shiny new backend with
#ifdef/#endif but I saw no other option.
The most problematic issues are:
- WinCe has no GetDIBits, so its practically impossible to fill a
BITMAPINFO with correct values. I therefore removed the bmi member from
the GDI_RenderData in SDL_gdirender.c to prevent usage of a not or not
properly initialized bmi.
- In SDL_win32window.c I exchanged some ASCII function by their general
counterparts, (In CE only the Unicode versions are available). I don't
know if this has a negative effect when running in win32
Cheers

Subject: Re: About QNX support in SDL 1.3
Here is another batch of patches.
1) Makefile.in - added SDL_opengles.h header as header to install.
2) configure.in - Added special define to detect Common Lite OpenGL ES
library in case if Common library is not installed. Added check for
clock_gettime in libc (in QNX it is in libc).
3) SDL_config.h.in - Added SDL_VIDEO_RENDER_OPENGL_ES and
SDL_VIDEO_OPENGL_ES declarations for configure script autodetection.
4) SDL_opengles.h - Added GL_API definition if it is not defined. Added
extension GL_OES_draw_texture because OpenGL ES Renderer uses it without
declaration. Added GL_OES_vertex_buffer_object extension, which is supported
under QNX OpenGL ES. Added GL_OES_single_precision extension.
5) To the test directory I've added building OpenGL ES test applications
through the autotools suite. Was support for iPhone IDE building only.

Subject: About QNX support in SDL 1.3
Right now I'm working on QNX SDL 1.3 drivers implementation and looks like a
lot of code must be completely reworked. But I'm ready for it :) Also I want
to add QNX Graphics Framework SDL driver, which is fullscreen graphics
framework, with support of hardware accelerated OpenGL ES implementations.
This Graphics Framework (called GF in QNX) could also use QNX Photon (window
manager GUI) as window manager.
In the attachment initial patch for QNX support in SDL 1.3
* Some math functions become intrinsic in release mode, so we need to
convert all the math functions into SDL math functions, like we did
with the stdlib functions.
* Constant initializers of 8-bit values become calls to memset() in
release mode, but memset() itself is an intrinsic when explicitly
called. So we'll just explicitly call memset() in those cases.

When I try to cross-build SDL1.3 r4362 it fails for macos. It seems there

Subject: SDL1.3 DirectFB patches
The attached contains the following directfb changes:
- Dynamic loading of libdirectfb.so. This may to turned off as well in configure
- Use linux-input by default. May be switched off by environment variable.
- Added some code which will use directfb's x11 backend when DISPLAY is set.
From: Couriersud
Subject: Fusionsound audio driver
attached is a diff containing a audio driver for the FusionSound
library. This sound library is closely related to DirectFB and uses the
same transport (fusion) as DirectFB when running applications "remote",
i.e. over the network. As such, it natively redirects sound where
DirectFB redirects video. This may be handy for everyone using SDL over
DirectFB.
One or two things got moved around, but largely this is hooked up correctly
in the Unix configure system now: it can be dynamically loaded and fallback
gracefully if not available, or libXi can be directly linked to libSDL.
XInput support can be --disable'd from the configure script, too (defaults to
enabled).
Please note that while the framework is in place to gracefully fallback, the
current state of the source requires XInput. We'll need to adjust a few
things still to correct this.
Many-mouse and tablet support
by Szymon Wilczek, mentored by Ryan C. Gordon
Everything concerning the project is noted on the wiki:
http://wilku.ravenlord.ws/doku.php?id=start
Prepping for using MMX and SSE intrinsics instead of inline assembly.
.. except for memcpy equivalents which only get faster if they can
exploit the parallelism of loading into multiple SIMD registers. :)
available and to keep people form having to install yet another library I have added the essential parts of Xmu in
src/video/extensions/XmuStdCmap and an include file in src/video/extensions. The support makes use of standard X11 mechanisms to
create color maps and make sure that an application uses the same color map for each window/visual combination. This should make it
possible for gamma support to be implemented based on a single color map per application.
Hurm... it looks like "make indent" modified a few extra files. Those are getting committed too.

Date: 2006-10-24 00:31:16 GMT
Hello !
As alloca.h is not available on CYGWIN and MinGW32
it should not be checked there or it should be checked
with -mno-cygwin using.
I am a total configure.in newbie, but i found the way
that things are handled in configure.in pretty bad for the
case CYGWIN with MinGW Mode or not.
Maybe this is not possible but i would like to
have a way to detect at the start for example CYGWIN
and then add. ask if configure was called with --enable-cygwin
for example. --enable-cygwin should be optional and disabled
by default as we want to have MinGW Mode by default.
Only if the user wants it he should be able to use it.
Then the whole configure.in would get add. questions
okay the system is CYGWIN with or without MinGW Mode.
The alloca.h thing for example is only
available under CYGWIN ( without MinGW Mode ).

Hi,
if "configure" is given an explicit --libdir, the sdl-config still contains
the default "${exec_prefix}/lib" for runtime linker path.
That should be changed to $libdir, as this is where the library goes to...

[patch tweaked to handle older nasm, which doesn't support :function syntax]

libsdl-hidden-nasm.patch
here's the patch i posted here:
http://www.libsdl.org/pipermail/sdl/2006-March/073618.html
this will hide the symbols dynamically if the build nasm/yasm supports the
hidden stuff ... in other words, this patch should be safe with both older and
new versions of nasm/yasm
Added DirectInput joystick code, contributed by Glenn Maynard.
This fixes a problem with the Windows Multimedia joystick driver
not showing all 6 axes on a GameCube controller converter, which

Subject: [SDL] [patch] touchup configure --help output
the current output includes a lot of "default=yes" stuff in it ... except that
it lacks the [] around it
patch attached to fix the situation
The SDL platform header shouldn't dictate the OS target API for other
applications. The build system should define the target API for building
SDL internally.
The attached patch is mostly cosmetic: Currently, we always add both -framework
OpenGL and -framework AGL for Mac OS X command line builds.
However, the former is only used for the Cocoa video driver, and the latter
only for the Carbon video driver (as far as I can tell, at least). Hence the
attached patch modifies configure.in so that each only gets added to the list
of frameworks if the corresponding video driver is enabled.
The change made to sdl-config.in on March 18 (rev 11, see
http://www.libsdl.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/SDL12/sdl-config.in), broke static linking
under Mac OS X for unix style build systems. In other words, "sdl-config
--static-libs" no longer produces the correct output, as it is missing the
required -framework switches.
The attached patch fixes this.
The proper name of Apple's operating system is "Mac OS X" not "MacOS X", as can
bee seen in many places, for example http://www.apple.com/macosx/). This
contrasts the naming of the old operating system, which was called "MacOS" and
today is often refered to as "MacOS Classic".
The attached patches fixes the misuse of the name "MacOS X" in both the SDL12
and sdlweb CVS modules.
The attached patch changes configure.in to use "-framework FOO" instead of
"-Wl,-framework,FOO".
This avoid some issues with certain versions of libtool that do not handle
-framework properly.
Some versions of libtool will try to reorder the two parts of the option, or
render the 2nd part of the argument to the relative path of a non-existent
library.
Note: It is not enough if SDL uses a version of libtool that does this
correctly, because these -framework options show up in "sdl-config --libs".
Hence, some 3rd party apps which still ship with an old libtool have troubles
compiling under Mac OS X.
