That's weird, these are the exact two functions that Emscripten incorrectly believed it had until we upgraded the buildbot's emsdk install.
Not sure what's up with this, but it's possibly not a MingW-specific thing!
macOS currently needs this if you build with X11 support. iOS doesn't
(currently), but it doesn't hurt to compile it in case we do something
Unixy on that platform later on.

Original bug report (note that it was against 2.0.0, it might have been fixed in between): http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=733015
--------------------------------------------------------
Package: libsdl2-2.0-0
Version: 2.0.0+dfsg1-3
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
I have occasional crashes here caused by the X11 backend of SDL2. It seems to
be caused by the X11_Pending function trying to add a high number (> 1024)
file descriptor to a fd_set before doing a select on it to avoid busy waiting
on X11 events. This causes a buffer overflow because the file descriptor is
larger (or equal) than the limit FD_SETSIZE.
Attached is a possible workaround patch.
Please also keep in mind that fd_set are also used in following files which
may have similar problems.
src/audio/bsd/SDL_bsdaudio.c
src/audio/paudio/SDL_paudio.c
src/audio/qsa/SDL_qsa_audio.c
src/audio/sun/SDL_sunaudio.c

I personally experienced this problem while hacking on the python bindings
package for SDL2 [1] (while doing make runtest). But it easier to reproduce in
a smaller, synthetic testcase.

This eliminates the need to manually compile in SDL_main_android.c.
Instead, add "-lSDL2main -Wl,-u,SDL_main_dummy" when linking.
I don't know how the nkd-build process works, but unless it was
for some reason linking libSDL2main.a it should be unaffected.

"if we're already using libtool, why aren't we using it ?"; they've been inspired by the fact, that at that mark, neither libSDL2_test.a nor libSDL2main.a were being built correctly (not sure if it's fully broken or just because I've tested the out-of-tree build)

On AmigaOS 4 platform with Newlib 'C' library, there is a problem with failing fseeko64. This seemed to be caused by using fopen instead of fopen64.

This patch is wrong: the structure in question has nothing to do with any
gcc version in use. I suggest reverting this adding a conigury check for
it, instead. Something like the following should do it: (configure needs
regenerating.)

I'm going to reopen this because configure should still accurately report whether libudev will be used. Right now it just tests whether it's enabled as an argument, not whether configure was successful in finding it.

SDL2 on Haiku so far uses Haiku-specific APIs for loading dynamic objects as add-ons, instead of using dlopen to load them as libraries. This, for example, leads to SDL_mixer not being able to load its audio backends, when compiled with standard settings.
As discussed at https://www.freelists.org/post/haikuports/SDL2-mixer-ogg-music-not-playing-and-other-stuff,2 , the best way to deal with this would be using dlopen instead of load_add_on. The following patch implements this change by dropping the Haiku-specific bits and using dlopen instead.

Just moved ibus direct call to SDL_IME_* related functions, and adds fcitx IME support (uses DBus, too),
enable with env: SDL_IM_MODULE=fcitx (ibus still the default one)
Generate the C protocol files from the protocol XML files installed by
wayland-protocols, and use them to implement support for relative pointer
motions and pointer locking.
Note that at the time, the protocol is unstable and may change in the future.
Any future breaking changes will, however, fail gracefully and result in no
regressions compared to before this patch.
Since we are loading shared objects dynamically, build our own version of the
core protocol symbols, so that we in the future can include protocol
extensions.

The configure script didn't differentiate between Linux and Android, unconditionally compiling in the unix implementation of SDL_sysfilesystem.c.
I'm probably one of the very few people building SDL for android using classic configure + standalone toolchain, so this has gone undetected all along.
With this commit, you can compile SDL2 with Emscripten
( http://emscripten.org/ ), and make your SDL-based C/C++ program
into a web app.
This port was due to the efforts of several people, including: Charlie Birks,
Sathyanarayanan Gunasekaran, Jukka Jylänki, Alon Zakai, Edward Rudd,
Bruce Mitchener, and Martin Gerhardy. (Thanks, everyone!)

When creating a homebrew recipe for wesnoth, I discovered that the SDL image configuration routine does not detect libpng properly -- if you have multiple instances of libpng on your system, and you use environment variables to select an instance which is not in your system directory, the build can be broken, because it will run configuration tests against the system installed version, but deduce that it should use the filename of the system-installed version. In a vanilla build of wesnoth using homebrew, this results in segfaults at runtime, because you end up linking against two different versions of libpng, which is also needed independently of SDL.
The problem is essentially in the "find_lib" routine in the configure file:
find_lib()
{
gcc_bin_path=[`$CC -print-search-dirs 2>/dev/null | fgrep programs: | sed 's/[^=]*=\(.*\)/\1/' | sed 's/:/ /g'`]
gcc_lib_path=[`$CC -print-search-dirs 2>/dev/null | fgrep libraries: | sed 's/[^=]*=\(.*\)/\1/' | sed 's/:/ /g'`]
env_lib_path=[`echo $LIBS $LDFLAGS | sed 's/-L[ ]*//g'`]
for path in $gcc_bin_path $gcc_lib_path $env_lib_path /usr/lib /usr/local/lib; do
lib=[`ls -- $path/$1 2>/dev/null | sort -r | sed 's/.*\/\(.*\)/\1/; q'`]
if test x$lib != x; then
echo $lib
return
fi
done
}
Because the for loop goes over the system directories before the environment directories, any system-installed lib will shadow the lib selected via environment variables. This is contrary to the behavior of the configuration tests earlier in the script, which prefers the environment variable libs over the system-installed libs. The 'for' loop should instead be:
for path in $env_lib_path $gcc_bin_path $gcc_lib_path /usr/lib /usr/local/lib; do

I have checked that this bug also affects SDL 1.2.15, SDL_mixer and SDL_ttf 1.2, which all use this same "find_lib" routine. I have not determined if the bug affects SDL 2.0, which seems not to use this exact routine.

SDL's Cocoa backend uses the CGDisplayMode API to get refresh rate information about a display mode, but CGDisplayModeGetRefreshRate will return 0 on most non-CRT monitors.
The only way I know of to get correct refresh rate information in OS X is via the CoreVideo DisplayLink API.
I have attached a patch which tries to use the CVDisplayLinkGetNominalOutputVideoRefreshPeriod function if CGDisplayModeGetRefreshRate fails, which fixes display mode refresh rate information on the monitors I tested.
The CVDisplayLink API requires linking with the CoreVideo framework, and the patch updates the various build files to do so.

Now that SDL on iOS requires CoreMotion to be linked, some of the Xcode projects included with the SDL source (such as the iOS tests and the iOS app template) as well as the premake and automake scripts need to be updated.
I've attached a patch which does so. It also fixes the SDL Xcode project to build for 64-bit ARM as well as armv7 by default (or whatever the default ARM targets are for the Xcode version used), which is what the iOS app template expects.
If the EGL extension EGL_KHR_create_context is available, we can use it to
set the core/compatability profile and the minimum OpenGL version.
Use this if it is available to get the context requested by the GL attributes.
I added -Wshadow and then turned it off again because of massive variable shadowing in the blit macros.
Feel free to go through that code and fix these if you want. Just uncomment CheckWarnShadow in configure.in if you want to try this.
Add V=1 to the make command line will show the full commands but by default
we just show the tool-type and the output file. This is generally much easier
on the eye and makes warnings and errors more clearly visible.
The D3D11 renderer is now slightly faster than D3D9 on my Windows 8 machine (testsprite2 runs at 3400 FPS vs 3100 FPS)
This will need tweaking to fix the Windows RT build.
configure wraps this C code in a main() function, so you can't declare a
function body in there. Besides, I'm not sure why we declared a function
that's part of the multitouch API anyhow.
Now we just reference a type that only exists if the headers have multitouch
support and call it a day.

The libuuid from e2fsprogs is completely unrelated to the w32api UUID.DLL implib. FWIW, any *NIX software that I've seen obviously wants the e2fsprogs version, but if libuuid-devel is installed (in /usr/lib) then you can't link against the w32api implib with a simple -luuid.
