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.

Subject: [Fwd: SDL patch: make usage of rpath optional]
Here's a small patch against current SDL CVS that makes usage of rpath
optional, by passing --disable-rpath to configure. This comes in handy
when redistributing SDL -- the rpath setting prevents the lib being
loaded if it's not in the rpath, which makes redistributing in packages
to be installed by non-root users pretty much useless.
"I'm on Mac OS 10.3.9 with a CVS SDL 1.2.9.
My understanding is that SDL_CDResume is supposed to resume play after
calling SDL_CDPlay. It doesn't on my system. It returns 0 but nothing happens.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

Subject: [SDL] signal handling bug
I encountered the following bug:
SDL doesn't reset signal handlers for SIGTERM and SIGINT, after calling SDL_Quit these remain hooked to the handler in SDL_quit.c, being translated into SDL_QUIT events.
Consequently an application that issues a SDL_Quit and remains running will ignore any SIGTERM or SIGINT., and specifically CTRL-C presses.
"Just a request about test subdirectory: the autotools files
(config.guess, config.sub, etc...) are a bit outdated, and I have to
update them for my cross-compilation party. So it would be nice to
have these updated.
...
Just removing these files works, because then configure will use
those of SDL's topdir. Could someone else check this, just to be sure?
i.e. remove config.guess, config.sub, install-sh and mkinstalldirs from
test subdir."
I tested on Linux and MacOSX...seems to be safe, so I'm nuking the files.

Subject: [SDL] Bug report: SDL_CreateRGBSurface with SDL_HWSURFACE crashes
If SDL is in full-screen mode with a hardware video surface on OS X,
SDL_CreateRGBSurface with SDL_HWSURFACE crashes. The crash occurs on
line 109 of SDL_Surface.c. This was tested on OS X 10.3.9 with both SDL
1.2.8 and the latest CVS. Here is a small C++ program that demonstrates
the problem:
#include "SDL.h"
#include <stdio.h>
namespace {
void wait_for_key()
{
SDL_Event e;
printf("%d\n", SDL_GetAppState());
while (SDL_WaitEvent(&e)) {
if (e.type == SDL_KEYDOWN || e.type == SDL_QUIT) return;
}
}
}
int main(int, char *[])
{
SDL_Init(SDL_INIT_VIDEO);
SDL_Surface *screen
= SDL_SetVideoMode(640, 480, 32, SDL_FULLSCREEN | SDL_HWSURFACE);
SDL_Surface *s = SDL_CreateRGBSurface(SDL_HWSURFACE, 640, 480, 32,
screen->format->Rmask, screen->format->Gmask,
screen->format->Bmask, screen->format->Amask);
wait_for_key();
if (s) SDL_FreeSurface(s);
SDL_Quit();
printf("Success!\n");
return 0;
}
Patch by me to address this comment on the SDL mailing list:
"There appears to be a serious bug with SDL_GetAppState on OS X (10.3.9). When
first running in windowed mode and then switching to full screen mode by
calling SDL_SetVideoMode, SDL_GetAppState returns 4 (SDL_APPACTIVE) instead of
7 (SDL_APPMOUSEFOCUS | SDL_APPINPUTFOCUS | SDL_APPACTIVE). However, the SDL
application clearly does have the keyboard focus, since it is able to receive
keyboard events."

Subject: SDL Patch
Hio,
I saw your last call on the mailing list. Here's a patch which I
submitted about two weeks ago which hasn't made it in.
In the current sdl.m4, there's a bug where if your configure.ac, you
have AC_LANG(C++) specified, it won't properly compile and link the SDL
test program when you run the configure script. This is because only the
default CFLAGS is overriden in sdl.m4, and in the patch below, I've
fixed it so it overrides CXXFLAGS as well, allowing it to work with g++.

SDL_SetTimer has a typo in CVS. This code was added since 1.2.8. The
result is that the SDL_timer_mutex is locked twice and never unlocked,
breaking systems that use a threaded timer implementation.

I've attached a new version of the patch for the RISC OS
