Date: Sun, 26 Feb 2006 11:25:09 +0900 From: Hayashi Naoyuki Subject: Re: [SDL] CVS stable again, please update SDL ports Some problems are caused on Tru64 UNIX. If applying SDL12-osf1.path, these problems are fixed. 1. configure-script say "recursive mutexes... no" and "pthread semaphores... no". checking for pthreads... yes checking for recursive mutexes... no checking for pthread semaphores... no This is because it compiled without pthread_cflags and pthread_lib when checking recursive mutexes and pthread semaphores. 2. Compiling src/audio/mme/SDL_mmeaudio.c fails. cc: Severe: ./src/audio/mme/SDL_mmeaudio.c, line 25: Cannot find file <mme_api.h> specified in #include directive. (noinclfilef) #include <mme_api.h> -^ This is because BUILD_CFLAGS is wrong. 3. Compiling src/cdrom/osf/SDL_syscdrom.c fails. cc: Warning: ./src/cdrom/osf/SDL_syscdrom.c, line 176: Too few actual parameters in the invocation of the macro "SDL_stack_alloc". (toofewactuals) cdpath = SDL_stack_alloc(len); ------------------------------------^ cc: Error: ./src/cdrom/osf/SDL_syscdrom.c, line 176: Invalid expression. (badexpr) cdpath = SDL_stack_alloc(len); -----------------^ SDL_stack_alloc is defined in include/SDL_stdinc.h. #define SDL_stack_alloc(type, count) (type*)alloca(sizeof(type)*count) 4. Linking fails if running configure with --enable-x11-shared=yes. /usr/ccs/bin/ld: Warning: Unresolved: p_XData32 5. Compiling src/video/x11/SDL_x11dyn.c fails if running configure with --enable-x11-shared=no. cc: Error: ./src/video/x11/SDL_x11sym.h, line 149: In this statement, "_SmtBufferOverflow" is not declared.

Build libSDLmain.a
Update project files
Create general SDL_config.h
Create stubs for all the disabled subsystems
Test all the platforms and drivers

Wish list for the 1.3 development branch:

 * Use /etc/fb.modes, if available, like GGI does
 * Add mousewheel events (new unified event architecture?)
 * DirectInput joystick support needs to be implemented
 * Be able to enumerate and select available audio and video drivers
 * Fullscreen video mode support for MacOS X
 * Explicit vertical retrace wait (maybe separate from SDL_Flip?)
 * Shaped windows, windows without borders
 * Multiple windows, multiple display support
 * SDL_INIT_EVENTTHREAD on Windows and MacOS?
 * Add a timestamp to events
 * Use RDTSC for timer resolution on x86 hardware
 * Add audio input API
 * Add hardware accelerated scaled blit
 * Add hardware accelerated alpha blits
 * Redesign blitting architecture to allow blit plugins

In the jump from 1.2 to 1.3, we should change the SDL_Rect members to
int and evaluate all the rest of the datatypes.  This is the only place
we should do it though, since the 1.2 series should not break binary
compatibility in this way.

Requests:
 * PCM and CDROM volume control (deprecated, but possible)
