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

* Porting To A New Platform The first thing you have to do when porting to a new platform, is look at include/SDL_platform.h and create an entry there for your operating system. The standard format is __PLATFORM__, where PLATFORM is the name of the OS. Ideally SDL_platform.h will be able to auto-detect the system it's building on based on C preprocessor symbols. There are two basic ways of building SDL at the moment: 1. The "UNIX" way: ./configure; make; make install If you have a GNUish system, then you might try this. Edit configure.in, take a look at the large section labelled: "Set up the configuration based on the target platform!" Add a section for your platform, and then re-run autogen.sh and build! 2. Using an IDE: If you're using an IDE or other non-configure build system, you'll probably want to create a custom SDL_config.h for your platform. Edit SDL_config.h, add a section for your platform, and create a custom SDL_config_{platform}.h, based on SDL_config.h.minimal and SDL_config.h.in Add the top level include directory to the header search path, and then add the following sources to the project: src/*.c src/audio/*.c src/cdrom/*.c src/cpuinfo/*.c src/events/*.c src/file/*.c src/joystick/*.c src/stdlib/*.c src/thread/*.c src/timer/*.c src/video/*.c src/audio/disk/*.c src/video/dummy/*.c src/joystick/dummy/*.c src/cdrom/dummy/*.c src/thread/generic/*.c src/timer/dummy/*.c src/loadso/dummy/*.c Once you have a working library without any drivers, you can go back to each of the major subsystems and start implementing drivers for your platform. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask on the SDL mailing list: http://www.libsdl.org/mailing-list.php Enjoy! Sam Lantinga (slouken@libsdl.org)
