Added On_Char method to Window_Listener for WM_CHAR messages.
Removed a lot of TSF code because part of it was wrong and part was too complicated.
Added Clear method to clear the window.
IME input should work in both windowed mode and fullscreen mode with these changes.
I have tested on Windows XP SP3 and Windows 7 Ultimate in VirtualBox.
When you type a character (with an IME or not), the console will show the code point as U+XXXX.
You use Left Alt+Shift (or whatever you have it set to) to switch input languages as usual.
Hit ESC to exit (or close the window in windowed mode).
The program will pause before exiting so you can review the console output (press a key to exit).

| 3568 | 2 Using SDL 1.3 under Windows with the OpenWatcom compiler |
| 3 | |
| 1773 | 4 ==================================================== |
| 5 | |
| 6 Prerequisites | |
| 7 ------------- | |
| 8 | |
| 3568 | 9 I have done the port under Windows XP Professional with SP2 installed. |
| 10 Windows 2000 should also be working. I'm not so sure about ancient Windows NT, | |
| 1773 | 11 since only DirectX 3 is available there. Building should be possible, |
| 12 but running the compiled applications will probalbly fail with | |
| 13 SDL_VIDEODRIVER=directx. The windib driver should work, though. | |
| 14 | |
| 15 To compile and use the SDL with Open Watcom you will need the following: | |
| 3568 | 16 - Open Watcom compiler. I used version 1.8. The environment variables |
| 1773 | 17 PATH, WATCOM and INCLUDE need to be set appropriately - please consult |
| 18 the OpenWatcom documentation and instructions given during the | |
| 19 installation of the compiler. | |
| 20 My setup looks like this in owvars.bat: | |
| 3568 | 21 set WATCOM=C:\dev\ow18 |
| 1773 | 22 set INCLUDE=%WATCOM%\h;%WATCOM%\h\nt |
| 23 set PATH=%PATH%;%WATCOM%\binnt;%WATCOM%\binw | |
| 3568 | 24 - A recent DirectX SDK. The library needs D3d9.h so at leat the |
| 25 directx 9 sdk is to be used. I used DirectX 10 SDK from August 2009 | |
| 26 taken directly from the microsoft site. | |
| 27 - The SDL 1.3 sources from Subversion | |
| 1773 | 28 - The file Watcom-Win32.zip (now available in Subversion) |
| 29 | |
| 30 | |
| 31 Building the Library | |
| 32 -------------------- | |
| 33 | |
| 34 1) In the SDL base directory extract the archive Watcom-Win32.zip. This | |
| 35 creates a subdirectory named 'watcom'. | |
| 36 2) The makefile expects the environment variable DXDIR to be set to the | |
| 3568 | 37 base directory of a DirectX SDK. I have tried the August 2009 |
| 38 DirectX SDK from Microsoft | |
| 1773 | 39 You can also edit the makefile directly and hard code your path to |
| 40 the SDK on your system. | |
| 41 I have this in my setup: | |
| 3568 | 42 set DXDIR=..\dx10 |
| 1773 | 43 3) Enter the watcom directory and run |
| 44 wmake sdl | |
| 45 4) All tests from the test directory are working and can be built by | |
| 46 running | |
| 47 wmake tests | |
| 48 | |
| 49 Notes: | |
| 50 | |
| 51 The makefile offers some options to tweak the way the library is built. | |
| 52 You have at your disposal the option to build a static (default) | |
| 53 library, or a DLL (with tgt=dll). You can also choose whether to build | |
| 54 a Release (default) or a Debug version (with build=debug) of the tests | |
| 55 and library. Please consult the usage comment at the top of the | |
| 56 makefile for usage instructions. | |
| 57 | |
| 58 If you specify a test target (i.e. 'wmake tests' for all tests, or | |
| 59 selected targets like 'wmake testgl testvidinfo testoverlay2'), the | |
| 60 tests are always freshly compiled and linked. This is done to | |
| 61 minimise hassle when switching between library versions (static vs. | |
| 62 DLL), because they require subtly different options. | |
| 63 Also, the test executables are put directly into the test directory, | |
| 64 so they can find their data files. The clean target of the makefile | |
| 65 removes the test executables and the SDL.dll file from the test | |
| 66 directory. | |
| 67 | |
| 68 To use the library in your own projects with Open Watcom, you can use | |
| 69 the way the tests are built as base of your own build environment. | |

| 115 TODO | |
| 116 ---- | |
| 117 | |
| 118 There is room for further improvement: | |
| 119 - Test joystick functionality. | |
| 120 - Investigate fading issue in 'testwin' test. | |
| 121 - Fix the UTF-8 support. | |
| 122 - Adapt the makefile/object file list to support more target systems | |
| 123 - Use "#pragma aux" syntax for the CPU info functions. | |
