Subject: [SDL] SDL 1.3 WinCE backend
as promised, I've started to work on the WinCE backend of SDL 1.3
I've modified the win32 video backend and the gdi renderer, to work
properly in WinCE.
The results till now are great, but there is still some work to do.
Attached are two patches with my changes.
I would be happy if someone could review and propably commit them.
The first one (configure.in.patch) should be straight forward without
any side effects.
The second one does the necessary changes to the win32 backend. I was
really unhappy to start slicing this shiny new backend with
#ifdef/#endif but I saw no other option.
The most problematic issues are:
- WinCe has no GetDIBits, so its practically impossible to fill a
BITMAPINFO with correct values. I therefore removed the bmi member from
the GDI_RenderData in SDL_gdirender.c to prevent usage of a not or not
properly initialized bmi.
- In SDL_win32window.c I exchanged some ASCII function by their general
counterparts, (In CE only the Unicode versions are available). I don't
know if this has a negative effect when running in win32
Cheers
Stefan

================================================================= Patch version 0.9 of SDL(Simple DirectMedia Layer) for Nano-X API ================================================================= Authors: Hsieh-Fu Tsai, clare@setabox.com Greg Haerr, greg@censoft.com This patch is against SDL version 1.2.4. It enhances previous patch 0.8 by providing direct framebuffer access as well as dynamic hardware pixel type support, not requiring a compile-time option setting for different framebuffer modes. Tested against Microwindows version 0.89pre9. Older Microwindows versions =========================== If running on a version older than Microwindows 0.89pre9, the following items might need to be patched in Microwindows. 1. Patch src/nanox/client.c::GrClose() It fixes the client side GrClose(). In the original version, GrOpen() can only be called once. When the GrOpen() is called at the second time, the program will terminate. In order to prevent this situation, we need to insert "nxSocket = -1" after "close(nxSocket)" in GrClose(). If you do not have this problem, you may skip this step. 2. Patch src/nanox/clientfb.c to return absolute x,y coordinates when using GrGetWindowFBInfo(). Copy the version 0.89pre9 of src/nanox/clientfb.c to your system, or configure using --disable-nanox-direct-fb. ============= Quick Install ============= 1. ./configure --disable-video-x11 --disable-video-fbcon \ --enable-video-nanox \ --with-nanox-pixel-type=[rgb/0888/888/565/555/332/pal] 2. make clean 3. make 4. make install (as root) ============ Nitty-gritty ============ --enable-nanox-direct-fb Use direct framebuffer access --enable-nanox-debug Show debug messages --enable-nanox-share-memory Use shared-memory to speed up When running multi-threaded applications using SDL, such as SMPEG, set THREADSAFE=Y in Microwindows' config file, to enable GrXXX() system call critical section support. ============================================= Some programs can be used to test this patch. ============================================= 1. http://www.cs.berkeley.edu/~weimer/atris (a tetris-like game) 2. http://www.libsdl.org/projects/newvox/ 3. http://www.libsdl.org/projects/xflame/ 4. http://www.libsdl.org/projects/optimum/ 5. http://www.gnugeneration.com/software/loop/ 6: http://www.lokigames.com/development/smpeg.php3 (SMPEG version 0.4.4) ========= Todo List ========= 1. Create hardware surface 2. Create YUVOverlay on hardware 3. Use OpenGL 4. Gamma correction 5. Hide/Change mouse pointer 6. Better window movement control with direct fb access 7. Palette handling in 8bpp could be improved ===================== Supporting Institutes ===================== Many thanks to go to Setabox Co., Ltd. and CML (Communication and Multimedia Laboratory, http://www.cmlab.csie.ntu.edu.tw/) in the Department of Computer Science and Information Engineering of National Taiwan University for supporting this porting project.
