Fixed bug #84 Date: Sun, 23 Oct 2005 16:39:03 +0200 From: "A. Schmid" <sahib@phreaker.net> Subject: [SDL] no software surfaces with svgalib driver? Hi, I noticed that the SDL (1.2.9) svgalib driver only makes use of linear addressable (framebuffer) video modes. On older systems (like one of mine), linear addressable modes are often not available. Especially for cards with VESA VBE < 2.0 the svgalib vesa driver is unusable, since VESA only supports framebuffering for VBE 2.0 and later. The changes necessary to add support for software surfaces seem to be relatively small. I only had to hack src/video/svga/SDL_svgavideo.c (see attached patch). The code worked fine for me, but it is no more than a proof of concept and should be reviewed (probably has a memory leak when switching modes). It also uses the vgagl library (included in the svgalib package) and needs to be linked against it. -Alex

ae4ab3ac89a9 Instructive comments from Max Horn Sam Lantinga <slouken@libsdl.org> parents: 221 diff changeset	69 a bare bone .app bundle, which is double clickable from the Finder. But
ae4ab3ac89a9 Instructive comments from Max Horn Sam Lantinga <slouken@libsdl.org> parents: 221 diff changeset	70 there are some more things you should do before shipping yor product...
ae4ab3ac89a9 Instructive comments from Max Horn Sam Lantinga <slouken@libsdl.org> parents: 221 diff changeset	71
ae4ab3ac89a9 Instructive comments from Max Horn Sam Lantinga <slouken@libsdl.org> parents: 221 diff changeset	72 1) The bundle right now probably is dynamically linked against SDL. That
ae4ab3ac89a9 Instructive comments from Max Horn Sam Lantinga <slouken@libsdl.org> parents: 221 diff changeset	73 means that when you copy it to another computer, it will not run,
ae4ab3ac89a9 Instructive comments from Max Horn Sam Lantinga <slouken@libsdl.org> parents: 221 diff changeset	74 unless you also install SDL on that other computer. A good solution
ae4ab3ac89a9 Instructive comments from Max Horn Sam Lantinga <slouken@libsdl.org> parents: 221 diff changeset	75 for this dilemma is to static link against SDL. On OS X, you can
ae4ab3ac89a9 Instructive comments from Max Horn Sam Lantinga <slouken@libsdl.org> parents: 221 diff changeset	76 achieve that by linkinag against the libraries listed by
ae4ab3ac89a9 Instructive comments from Max Horn Sam Lantinga <slouken@libsdl.org> parents: 221 diff changeset	77 sdl-config --static-libs
ae4ab3ac89a9 Instructive comments from Max Horn Sam Lantinga <slouken@libsdl.org> parents: 221 diff changeset	78 instead of those listed by
ae4ab3ac89a9 Instructive comments from Max Horn Sam Lantinga <slouken@libsdl.org> parents: 221 diff changeset	79 sdl-config --libs
ae4ab3ac89a9 Instructive comments from Max Horn Sam Lantinga <slouken@libsdl.org> parents: 221 diff changeset	80 Depending on how exactly SDL is integrated into your build systems, the
ae4ab3ac89a9 Instructive comments from Max Horn Sam Lantinga <slouken@libsdl.org> parents: 221 diff changeset	81 way to achieve that varies, so I won't describe it here in detail
ae4ab3ac89a9 Instructive comments from Max Horn Sam Lantinga <slouken@libsdl.org> parents: 221 diff changeset	82 2) Add an 'Info.plist' to your application. That is a special XML file which
ae4ab3ac89a9 Instructive comments from Max Horn Sam Lantinga <slouken@libsdl.org> parents: 221 diff changeset	83 contains some meta-information about your application (like some copyright
ae4ab3ac89a9 Instructive comments from Max Horn Sam Lantinga <slouken@libsdl.org> parents: 221 diff changeset	84 information, the version of your app, the name of an optional icon file,
ae4ab3ac89a9 Instructive comments from Max Horn Sam Lantinga <slouken@libsdl.org> parents: 221 diff changeset	85 and other things). Part of that information is displayed by the Finder
ae4ab3ac89a9 Instructive comments from Max Horn Sam Lantinga <slouken@libsdl.org> parents: 221 diff changeset	86 when you click on the .app, or if you look at the "Get Info" window.
