Fixed bug #216 The attached files allow building the SDL library and tests with the Open Watcom compiler for Windows: - static library or DLL - Debug or Release builds available - uses register calling convention of Open Watcom - wmake target to build the SDL test samples Following is a table that shows what works and what doesn't, yet: checkkeys + graywin + loopwave + testalpha + testbitmap + testdyngl + testerror + testfile + testgamma + testgl + testhread + testiconv - (all failed) testkeys + testlock + (after removing calls to raise() from signal handler) testoverlay + (needs 'set SDL_VIDEODRIVER=directx') testoverlay2 + (-"-) testpalette + testplatform + testsem + testsprite + testtimer + testver + testvidinfo + testwin - (fading doesn't seem right) testwm + torturethread + testcdrom + testjoystick not tested threadwin + TODO: - make stack calling convention work (has linking issues with dxguid.lib) - perform testjoystick (I don't have a joystick) - investigate fading in testwin - merge with OS/2 port - add DOS target

To compile and install SDL:

    1.  Run './configure; make; make install'

        If you are compiling for Windows using gcc, read the FAQ at:
        http://www.libsdl.org/faq.php?action=listentries&category=4#42

        If you are compiling using Visual C++ on Win32, you should read
        the file VisualC.html

    2.  Look at the example programs in ./test, and check out the HTML
        documentation in ./docs to see how to use the SDL library.

    3.  Join the SDL developer mailing list by sending E-mail to
    	sdl-request@libsdl.org
        and put "subscribe" in the subject of the message.

        Or alternatively you can use the web interface:
            http://www.libsdl.org/mailing-list.php

That's it!
