(patch tweaked a bit) Date: Tue, 14 Mar 2006 03:30:11 +0000 From: Peter Mulholland Subject: [SDL] Windows MessageBox() strangeness fixes Hello all, I *think* this should fix the issues that people were seeing with MessageBox() not working and therefore assert() on mingw/msvc. Forgive me if i've screwed up making the diff file - I'm a total newb when it comes to things like CVS and diff. It modifies a few files as I saw that FlushMessageQueue() was in both the windx5 and windib driver, so I moved this into wincommon. It was also in the gapi driver, so I changed that too. The function is now WIN_FlushMessageQueue() in src/video/wincommon/SDL_syswm.c
