Date: Wed, 4 Mar 2009 15:38:22 +0200 From: "Mike Gorchak" Subject: Re: About QNX support in SDL 1.3 Here is another batch of patches. 1) Makefile.in - added SDL_opengles.h header as header to install. 2) configure.in - Added special define to detect Common Lite OpenGL ES library in case if Common library is not installed. Added check for clock_gettime in libc (in QNX it is in libc). 3) SDL_config.h.in - Added SDL_VIDEO_RENDER_OPENGL_ES and SDL_VIDEO_OPENGL_ES declarations for configure script autodetection. 4) SDL_opengles.h - Added GL_API definition if it is not defined. Added extension GL_OES_draw_texture because OpenGL ES Renderer uses it without declaration. Added GL_OES_vertex_buffer_object extension, which is supported under QNX OpenGL ES. Added GL_OES_single_precision extension. 5) To the test directory I've added building OpenGL ES test applications through the autotools suite. Was support for iPhone IDE building only.

			Using SDL with Microsoft Visual C++ 5,6&nbsp;and 7
		</H1>
		<H3>
			by <A HREF="mailto:snowlion@sprynet.com">Lion Kimbro </A>and additions by <A HREF="mailto:james@conceptofzero.net">
				James Turk</A>
		</H3>
		<p>
			You can either use the precompiled libraries from <A HREF="http://www.libsdl.org/download.php">
				the SDL Download web site </A>, or you can build SDL yourself.
		</p>
		<H3>
			Building SDL
		</H3>
		<P>
			Go into the VisualC directory and double-click on the VC++ file "<CODE>SDL.dsw</CODE>" <STRONG><FONT color="#009900">("<CODE>SDL.sln</CODE>")</FONT></STRONG>. This should open up the IDE.
		</P>
		<P>
			You may be prompted at this point to upgrade the workspace, should you be using 
			a more recent version of Visual C++. If so, allow the workspace to be upgraded.
		</P>
		<P>
			Build the <CODE>.dll</CODE> and <CODE>.lib</CODE> files.
		</P>
		<P>
			This is done by right clicking on each project in turn (Projects are listed in 
			the Workspace panel in the FileView tab), and selecting "Build".
		</P>
		<P>
			If you get an error about SDL_config.h being missing, you should
			copy include/SDL_config.h.default to include/SDL_config.h and try again.
		</P>
		<P>
			You may get a few warnings, but you should not get any errors. You do have to 
			have at least the DirectX 5 SDK installed, however. The latest 
			version of DirectX can be downloaded or purchased on a cheap CD (my 
			recommendation) from <A HREF="http://www.microsoft.com">Microsoft </A>.
		</P>
		<P>
			Later, we will refer to the following .lib and .dll files that have just been 
			generated:
		</P>
		<ul>
    <li> SDL.dll</li>
    <li> SDL.lib</li>
    <li> SDLmain.lib</li>
    </ul>
		<P>
			Search for these using the Windows Find (Windows-F) utility, if you don't 
			already know where they should be. For those of you with a clue, look inside 
			the Debug or Release directories of the subdirectories of the Project folder. 
			(It might be easier to just use Windows Find if this sounds confusing. And 
			don't worry about needing a clue; we all need visits from the clue fairy 
			frequently.)
		</P>
		<H3>
			Creating a Project with SDL
		</H3>
		<P>
			Create a project as a Win32 Application.
		</P>
		<P>
			Create a C++ file for your project.
		</P>
		<P>
			Set the C runtime to "Multi-threaded DLL" in the menu: <CODE>Project|Settings|C/C++ 
				tab|Code Generation|Runtime Library </CODE>.
		</P>
		<P>
			Add the SDL <CODE>include</CODE> directory to your list of includes in the 
			menu: <CODE>Project|Settings|C/C++ tab|Preprocessor|Additional include directories </CODE>
			.
			<br>
			<STRONG><FONT color="#009900">VC7 Specific: Instead of doing this I find it easier to 
					add the include and library directories to the list that VC7 keeps. Do this by 
					selecting Tools|Options|Projects|VC++ Directories and under the "Show 
					Directories For:" dropbox select "Include Files", and click the "New Directory 
					Icon" and add the [SDLROOT]\include directory (ex. If you installed to 
					c:\SDL-1.2.5\ add c:\SDL-1.2.5\include).&nbsp;Proceed to&nbsp;change the 
					dropbox selection to "Library Files" and add [SDLROOT]\lib.</FONT></STRONG>
		</P>
			<P>
				The "include directory" I am referring to is the <CODE>include</CODE> folder 
				within the main SDL directory (the one that this HTML file located within).
			</P>
			<P>
				Now we're going to use the files that we had created earlier in the Build SDL 
				step.
			</P>
			<P>
				Copy the following files into your Project directory:
			</P>
			<ul>
     <li> SDL.dll</li>
     </ul>
			<P>
				Add the following files to your project (It is not necessary to copy them to 
				your project directory):
			</P>
			<ul>
     <li> SDL.lib </li>
     <li> SDLmain.lib</li>
     </ul>
			<P>
				(To add them to your project, right click on your project, and select "Add 
				files to project")
			</P>
		<P><STRONG><FONT color="#009900">Instead of adding the files to your project it is more 
					desireable to add them to the linker options: Project|Properties|Linker|Command 
					Line and type the names of the libraries to link with in the "Additional 
					Options:" box.&nbsp; Note: This must be done&nbsp;for&nbsp;each&nbsp;build 
					configuration (eg. Release,Debug).</FONT></STRONG></P>
		<H3>
			SDL 101, First Day of Class
		</H3>
		<P>
			Now create the basic body of your project. The body of your program should take 
			the following form: <CODE>
				<PRE>
#include "SDL.h"

int main( int argc, char* argv[] )
{
  // Body of the program goes here.
  return 0;
}
</PRE>
			</CODE>
		<P></P>
		<H3>
			That's it!
		</H3>
		<P>
			I hope that this document has helped you get through the most difficult part of 
			using the SDL: installing it. Suggestions for improvements to this document 
			should be sent to the writers of this document.
		</P>
