The attached files allow building the SDL library and tests with the Open
Watcom compiler for Windows:
- static library or DLL
- Debug or Release builds available
- uses register calling convention of Open Watcom
- wmake target to build the SDL test samples
Following is a table that shows what works and what doesn't, yet:
checkkeys +
graywin +
loopwave +
testalpha +
testbitmap +
testdyngl +
testerror +
testfile +
testgamma +
testgl +
testhread +
testiconv - (all failed)
testkeys +
testlock + (after removing calls to raise() from signal handler)
testoverlay + (needs 'set SDL_VIDEODRIVER=directx')
testoverlay2 + (-"-)
testpalette +
testplatform +
testsem +
testsprite +
testtimer +
testver +
testvidinfo +
testwin - (fading doesn't seem right)
testwm +
torturethread +
testcdrom +
testjoystick not tested
threadwin +
TODO:
- make stack calling convention work (has linking issues with dxguid.lib)
- perform testjoystick (I don't have a joystick)
- investigate fading in testwin
- merge with OS/2 port
- add DOS target
[I opted to go for a warning, since I often tweak configure.in, but don't want to rebuild the entire project]
One thing that was lost in the switch from automake to the new build system is
that there is now no rule to build configure from configure.in.
IMHO, if configure.in gets changed, then at the very least, the build system
should print out a warning (better, again IMHO, an error) about this fact.
Else, you easily forget about this when modifying configure.in.
SDL_config.h is no longer in CVS. Instead, configure will generate it for
systems that use configure, and we always copy SDL_config.h.default to
SDL_config.h before generating a snapshot or release archive.
Also fixed a couple of uninstall issues.
and SDL no longer builds on MacOS X 10.3 natively, as of the 7.0.4
QuickTime update.
MacOS X 10.4 is the new build baseline for the SDL MacOS X packages.
... it would shore be nice if I had it. :)

Subject: [SDL] Can not install generated sdl-config
When building SDL when builddir != srcdir, then make install fails,
because it tries to install sdl-config from srcdir, instead of builddir
