This submission is aimed at making life easier for OpenGL ES capable devices
running a X11 stack (e.g. Maemo, Meego, TrimSlice, other ARM SoC boards not
running Android). SDL's Pandora support already has the neccesary GLES-to-X11
glue code, however it's all ghetto'd off in Makefile.pandora and not very
flexible.
The patch:
- adds an awesome --enable-video-opengles option to configure
- re-modifies the opengles and opengles2 SDL_renderers to use function pointers
- no idea why this was removed?
- for SDL_Renderers, links in libGLESv1_CM, libGLES_CM (for PowerVR fans) or
libGLESv2 at runtime
- links in libEGL.so at runtime - the old code made an assumption that
eglFunctions could be pulled from the active GLES library, PowerVR for one
doesn't let you do that with their libGLESv2
- allows you to pick which of GLES v1 or v2 to load via
SDL_GL_CONTEXT_MAJOR_VERSION
So far I've tested this on a Nokia N900 (OMAP 3430/SGX 530 running Maemo 5) and
a Toshiba AC100 (Tegra 2 running Ubuntu 10.10). I haven't tested it on... well,
everything that isn't those two, such as a Pandora, iOS or Android device. The
Pandora specific code should be kept intact (fingers crossed), and nothing
painfully drastic has been added to the SDL_renderers. The library loading
sequence in SDL_x11opengles has been updated to accomodate both NVIDIA's
propensity to let developers get away with murder and PowerVR's alternative of
punishing every missed step.
The test apps work okay with GLES or GLES2 as the renderer. For some reason
alpha blending doesn't seem to work on the Tegra 2; last week NVIDIA pushed out
a new set of X11 GLES drivers, so I'll try and investigate once I upgrade
those. Also, this patch adds things to configure.in, include/SDL_config.h.in
and test/configure.in. I didn't know what the policy was re. committing
generated spaghetti from autotools, so ./autogen.sh has to be run again. Sorry.
I think that's about everything, let me know if there's anything I've
overlooked.
attached is a working directfb driver diff which works with the current
changes. There are a number of changes around it as well, e.g.
configure.in.
The directfb renderdriver right now still depends on a some "includes"
from src/video/directfb. That's why it is not yet moved to the new
render folder.
Changed the CAS return value to bool, so it's efficient with OSAtomicCompareAndSwap32Barrier()

Hello,
I originally added pth support for threads in SDL 1.2 because on the Atari
platform we did not have any thread library.
I think pth support could be removed from SDL 1.3 for two reasons:
- Atari platform removed
- pth does not provides real (preemptive) threads, because it is user space,
and expect the application to call one of its function to give CPU to another
thread. So it is not exactly useful for applications, that expect threads to
run simultaneously.

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
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: 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
- 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.

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.
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. :)
