FIXME:
Change #include <stdlib.h> to #include "SDL_stdlib.h"
Change #include <string.h> to #include "SDL_string.h"
Make sure nothing else broke because of this...

Subject: [SDL] Fix for opening documents on Mac OS X < 10.4
The current code in SDLMain.m that transforms documents opened from the
Finder into command-line arguments (introduced in revision 1.14,
2005-08-11) uses the methods -[NSString lengthOfBytesUsingEncoding:] and
-[NSString getCString:maxLength:encoding:], which are only available in
Mac OS X 10.4.
Compiling this code on 10.3 produces warnings, and running it (i.e.
starting an SDL application by opening a document) leads to weird
behavior which I didn't investigate in detail ("*** -[NSCFString
lengthOfBytesUsingEncoding:]: selector not recognized" is printed to the
console log, and the SDL window never opens).
The attached patch removes the offending calls and uses -[NSString
UTF8String] instead, which is available everywhere. Tested on 10.3.9,
and I see no reason why it shouldn't also work on 10.2 and 10.4.
Two further comments:
* The comment above the -[SDLMain application: openFile:] implementation
says "You need to have a CFBundleDocumentsType section in your
Info.plist to get this message, apparently." This is not the case in my
experience - it worked just fine with a hand-built bare-bones
application consisting only of Test.app/Contents/MacOS/test, without any
Info.plist (although you have to press the option and command keys for
such an application to accept a dragged file).
* I took the liberty of cleaning up another area of SDLMain.m: I changed
"CustomApplicationMain (argc, argv)" to "CustomApplicationMain (int
argc, char **argv)". This avoids the "type of `argv' defaults to `int'"
warnings, and I'm not sure if leaving out the types could cause problems
on platforms where an int and a char** aren't of the same size.

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:

PS. It says "video", but as usual it applies to mouse/keyboard too.

Subject: [SDL] Updated Mac patch
Updated the previous Mac patch to disable Carbon by default.
Also "fixed" the SDL.spec again, so that it builds on Darwin.
http://www.algonet.se/~afb/SDL-1.2.9-mac.patch
Also applied fine to SDL12 CVS, when I tried it.
app as an openFile() message, so we have to make sure we were launched from
the Finder before accepting these as drag'n'drop documents, or they will just
duplicate what's already in argc/argv.
document associated with the app, the document(s) are passed to SDL_main()
as if they were command line arguments. Otherwise, the command line is always
empty and there is no way for the app to recover this information.

Subject: [Patch]: Improved menu code for SDLMain.m
the attached patch improves the menu setup for SDL apps built without a
.nib file. On 10.3, the application menus are empty with the current
SDL CVS version; after this patch, a proper app & window menu, with
"About", "Hide", "Quit", "Minimize" etc. entries are visible, just like
with the .nib enabled applications.
This *should* work on 10.2 and even 10.1, but I can't guarantee it, so
somebody should test there, ideally.
I also changed the way setupWorkingDirectory works by making use of the
Bundle APIs, that results in (IMO) less hackish code.
Finally, I added some "static" keywords to ensure that certain local
functions are not exported (that's just a paranoia change, I guess:
never pollute linker namespaces if you can avoid it).

Subject: [SDL-CVS][patch] add missing SDLCALL to headers
the small patch attached below (against current CVS) adds some missing SDLCALL
decorations to callback types and arguments.
Unfortunately one of these changes breaks your gen{def,exp}.pl scripts which
should be changed to use non-greedy regular expression matching...
On BeOS is should setup it the same way, but it only does when Tracker
wasn't restarted.
I checked code and it looks like a hack to me :(
It looks for env variable and than comapres it to default when OpenTracker
was started after boot, and wasn't restarted. That's probably ok, for that
exact case. Unfortunetly that variable isn't always like that. For
example, after Tracker crashes and is restarted, env variable most
probably is different (depends on how Tracker was restarted, by what
application, etc... for example: i have launcher application from which i
can restart Tracker, and after that nev variable points to that
application's directory, not Tracker's).

Subject: [SDL] patch: PocketPC 2000 diffs for release_1_2_6
I was making a backup of my current workspace of SDL for PocketPC,
and thought I would send out my diffs.
Apologies in advance if the patch has become whitespace mangled.
These diffs are relative to CVS tag release_1_2_6, and contain (I think)
all changes that have been mentioned on the mailing list in the last
few months.
I only have PocketPC 2000 & an ARM-based device (iPaq 3635), and I
only use Embedded Visual Tools 3.0, so I can't say for sure if it
breaks other PocketPC 200[023] builds.

Subject: Re: Updated projects?
There was one additional patch I forgot to send. I needed to add a few
exports to the exports file.
