3 Using the Simple DirectMedia Layer on Atari
4 ==============================================================================

6 ==============================================================================
7 I. Building the Simple DirectMedia Layer libraries:
8 (This step isn't necessary if you have the SDL binary distribution)
9
10 Do the classic configure, with --disable-shared --enable-static and:
11
12 Tos version (should run everywhere):
13 --disable-audio --disable-threads
14 Tos does not support threads, so can not support audio, maybe in a future
15 version audio support will be added via interrupts.
16
17 MiNT version (maybe Magic, only for multitasking OS):
18 --disable-pthreads --enable-pth
19 Mint and Magic may supports threads, so audio can be used with current
20 devices, like Sun audio, or disk-writing support. Like Tos, interrupt
21 audio without threads is more suited for Atari machines.
22
23 Then you can make ; make install it.
24
25 ==============================================================================
26 II. Building the Simple DirectMedia Layer test programs:
27
28 Do the classic configure, then make.
29
30 Run them !
