Date: Wed, 01 Mar 2006 10:14:31 +0000 From: "alan buckley" Subject: Re: Updating SDL for RISC OS I've attached a zip file with three diffs to get SDL to build on RISC OS. configure.in.diff and makedeps.sh.diff have been modified so that they can build the assembler file in video/riscos. You may want to double check these as I don't know a lot about unix shell programming. (I've tested them cross-compiling on cygwin). sdlsysthread.diff is the changes required to SDL_systhread.c for RISC OS. As you suspected with these changes in place you can delete the RISC OS specific threading code in thread/riscos. I've also renamed SDL_riscosASM.s to SDL_riscosASM.S, but I'm never quite sure how to rename files in CVS, so if you could to this it would be appreciated.

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!
