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.

.TH "SDL_CreateSemaphore" "3" "Tue 11 Sep 2001, 23:00" "SDL" "SDL API Reference" 
.SH "NAME"
SDL_CreateSemaphore\- Creates a new semaphore and assigns an initial value to it\&.
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.PP
\fB#include "SDL\&.h"
#include "SDL_thread\&.h"
.sp
\fBSDL_sem *\fBSDL_CreateSemaphore\fP\fR(\fBUint32 initial_value\fR);
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
\fBSDL_CreateSemaphore()\fP creates a new semaphore and initializes it with the value \fBinitial_value\fR\&. Each locking operation on the semaphore by \fISDL_SemWait\fR, \fISDL_SemTryWait\fR or \fISDL_SemWaitTimeout\fR will atomically decrement the semaphore value\&. The locking operation will be blocked if the semaphore value is not positive (greater than zero)\&. Each unlock operation by \fISDL_SemPost\fR will atomically increment the semaphore value\&.
.SH "RETURN VALUE"
.PP
Returns a pointer to an initialized semaphore or \fBNULL\fR if there was an error\&.
.SH "EXAMPLES"
.PP
.PP
.nf
\f(CWSDL_sem *my_sem;

my_sem = SDL_CreateSemaphore(INITIAL_SEM_VALUE);

if (my_sem == NULL) {
        return CREATE_SEM_FAILED;
}\fR
