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

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.

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

- 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.

Everything concerning the project is noted on the wiki:

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.

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 ).

From: Mike Frysinger
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.
The configure script parses the value of $X_LIBS when looking at the
--enable-x11-shared, which is getting set on Ubuntu 5.10 to "-L/usr/X11R6/lib"
... however, Ubuntu stores all the Xlib stuff in /usr/lib.
The end result in SDL is that the dynamic X11 stuff gets disabled by default,
unless you override like this:
./configure --x-libraries=/usr/lib

Subject: [SDL] no software surfaces with svgalib driver?
Hi,
I noticed that the SDL (1.2.9) svgalib driver only makes use of linear
addressable (framebuffer) video modes. On older systems (like one of
mine), linear addressable modes are often not available.
Especially for cards with VESA VBE < 2.0 the svgalib vesa driver is
unusable, since VESA only supports framebuffering for VBE 2.0 and later.
The changes necessary to add support for software surfaces seem to be
relatively small. I only had to hack src/video/svga/SDL_svgavideo.c (see
attached patch). The code worked fine for me, but it is no more than a
proof of concept and should be reviewed (probably has a memory leak when
switching modes). It also uses the vgagl library (included in the
svgalib package) and needs to be linked against it.

From the autoconf obsolete macros documentation:
Macro: AC_CANONICAL_SYSTEM
Determine the system type and set output variables to the names of the canonical system types. See section Getting the Canonical System Type, for details about the variables this macro sets.
The user is encouraged to use either AC_CANONICAL_BUILD, or AC_CANONICAL_HOST, or AC_CANONICAL_TARGET, depending on the needs. Using AC_CANONICAL_TARGET is enough to run the two other macros.
From the documentation for the canonical environments:
case $target in
i386-*-mach* | i386-*-gnu*)
obj_format=aout emulation=mach bfd_gas=yes ;;
i960-*-bout) obj_format=bout ;;
esac
Note that the above example uses $target because it's taken from a tool which can be built on some architecture ($build), run on another ($host), but yet handle data for a third architecture ($target). Such tools are usually part of a compiler suite, they generate code for a specific $target.
However $target should be meaningless for most packages. If you want to base a decision on the system where your program will be run, make sure you use the $host variable.

Subject: [SDL] Mac OS X Video Drivers [patch]
I've updated/added the Carbon and X11 video drivers
to the Mac OS X port of SDL 1.2 (the CVS version),
and made the Cocoa driver and runtime *optional*.
The default is still Cocoa, and the "Quartz" driver.
But you can now also use "toolbox" for Carbon, and
"x11" for running with Apple's (or other) X11 server:
export SDL_VIDEODRIVER=x11
export SDL_VIDEO_GL_DRIVER=/usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.dylib
It also checks if the frameworks are available, by a:
#include <Carbon/Carbon.h> or #import <Cocoa/Cocoa.h>
(this should make it configure on plain Darwin as well?)
Here are the new configure targets:
--enable-video-cocoa use Cocoa/Quartz video driver default=yes
--enable-video-carbon use Carbon/QuickDraw video driver default=yes
--enable-video-x11 use X11 video driver default=no
./configure --enable-video-cocoa --enable-video-carbon
--enable-video-x11 \
--x-includes=/usr/X11R6/include --x-libraries=/usr/X11R6/lib
The Carbon version is just an updated version of the old
SDL driver for Mac OS 9, and could probably be improved...
(but it does work, including the Carbon version of SDLmain)
If you disable cocoa, you can run with -framework Carbon only,
and the C version of SDL_main.c. And if you disable carbon too,
you can still use the X11 version which doesn't require SDLmain.
I updated the DrawSprocket version, but did not include it.
(no blitters or VRAM GWorlds etc. available on OS X anyway)
Besides for Mac OS 9, I don't think there's any use for it ?
And note that any performance on Mac OS X equals OpenGL anyway...
You can get "fair" software SDL results on captured CG displays,
but for decent frame rates you need to be using GL for rendering.
Finally, here is the patch itself:
