Date: Thu, 05 Feb 2009 18:07:35 +0100 From: Stefan Klug 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

Project files for embedded Visual C++ 3.0, 4.0 and 
Visual Studio 2005 can be found in VisualCE.zip

SDL supports GAPI and WinDib output for Windows CE.

GAPI driver supports:

- all possible WinCE devices (Pocket PC, Smartphones, HPC)
  with different orientations of video memory and resolutions.
- 4, 8 and 16 bpp devices
- special handling of 8bpp on 8bpp devices
- VGA mode, you can even switch between VGA and GAPI in runtime
  (between 240x320 and 480x640 for example). On VGA devices you can
  use either GAPI or VGA.
- Landscape mode and automatic rotation of buttons and stylus coordinates.
  To enable landscape mode make width of video screen bigger than height.
  For example: 
    SDL_SetVideoMode(320,240,16,SDL_FULLSCREEN)
- WM2005
- SDL_ListModes

NOTE:
There are several SDL features not available in the WinCE port of SDL.

- DirectX is not yet available
- Semaphores are not available
- Joystick support is not available
- CD-ROM control is not available

In addition, there are several features that run in "degraded" mode:

Preprocessor Symbol		Effect
===================		=================================

SDL_systimer.c:
USE_GETTICKCOUNT		Less accurate values for SDL time functions
USE_SETTIMER			Use only a single marginally accurate timer

SDL_syswm.c:
DISABLE_ICON_SUPPORT		Can't set the runtime window icon

SDL_sysmouse.c:
USE_STATIC_CURSOR		Only the arrow cursor is available

SDL_sysevents.c:
NO_GETKEYBOARDSTATE		Can't get modifier state on keyboard focus

SDL_dibevents.c:
NO_GETKEYBOARDSTATE		Very limited keycode translation

SDL_dibvideo.c:
NO_GETDIBITS			Can't distinguish between 15 bpp and 16 bpp
NO_CHANGEDISPLAYSETTINGS	No fullscreen support
NO_GAMMA_SUPPORT		Gamma correction not available
