Eric Wing to Sam, hfutrell This one is quite puzzling. I found a partial workaround, but I don't fully understand the reasons yet. First, the console is complaining about not finding a nib for MainWindow. I tried removing the entry for this in the info.plist, and the message went away, but it didn't really change anything. Second, I stepped through this with the debugger and broke up some lines. It seems that the basic act of calling view = [SDL_uikitopenglview alloc]; or even view = [SDL_uikitview alloc] will crash the program. The debugger messages plus the stack trace make me think it's not finding the SDL_uikitview classes for some reason. But I don't understand why this would be. view = [UIView alloc] will not crash the program. For kicks, I added a new definition of a class called SDL_object which subclasses NSObject in the same files as SDL_uikitopenglview and then call view = [SDL_object alloc]; This does not crash the program. So, then I modified SDL_object to subclass UIView. No crash. Next, I made SDL_object subclass UIView<UITextFieldDelegate> . This crashes. So it is the act of conforming to the UITextFieldDelegate protocol that is crashing things. I don't understand why it would crash on alloc though. I'm guessing either a delegate needs to be set somewhere or one of the required methods needs to be implemented. But in the former case, I would not expect a crash, but a silent message to nil and something else doesn't work. And in the latter case, I would expect a compiler warning and an exception thrown instead of a crash. Anyway, my temporary workaround is to change the interface declaration for SDL_uikitview to look like: #if SDL_IPHONE_KEYBOARD @interface SDL_uikitview : UIView<UITextFieldDelegate> { #else @interface SDL_uikitview : UIView { #endif And then disable the keyboard support in the SDL_config_iphoneos.h file. /* enable iPhone keyboard support */ #define SDL_IPHONE_KEYBOARD 0 -Eric On Nov 23, 2009, at 1:43 AM, Sam Lantinga wrote: > I ran into a blocking startup crash with the Happy demo on iPhone OS 3.1.2 on my new iPhone: > > #0 0x323fea14 in _class_isInitialized > #1 0x323fea68 in _class_initialize > #2 0x32403e92 in prepareForMethodLookup > #3 0x32401244 in lookUpMethod > #4 0x323fea10 in _class_lookupMethodAndLoadCache > #5 0x323fe746 in objc_msgSend_uncached > #6 0x323feb26 in _class_initialize > #7 0x323fea58 in _class_initialize > #8 0x32403e92 in prepareForMethodLookup > #9 0x32401244 in lookUpMethod > #10 0x323fea10 in _class_lookupMethodAndLoadCache > #11 0x323fe746 in objc_msgSend_uncached > #12 0x000554dc in UIKit_GL_CreateContext at SDL_uikitopengles.m:103 > #13 0x0004f89e in SDL_GL_CreateContext at SDL_video.c:3155 > #14 0x000579e8 in GLES_CreateRenderer at SDL_renderer_gles.c:282 > #15 0x0004d7b8 in SDL_CreateRenderer at SDL_video.c:1509 > #16 0x00002bc2 in SDL_main at happy.c:156 > #17 0x000571b2 in -[SDLUIKitDelegate postFinishLaunch] at > SDL_uikitappdelegate.m:77 > #18 0x313f9ef2 in __NSFireDelayedPerform > #19 0x32567bb2 in CFRunLoopRunSpecific > #20 0x3256735c in CFRunLoopRunInMode > #21 0x32912cbe in GSEventRunModal > #22 0x32912d6a in GSEventRun > #23 0x32b6276e in -[UIApplication _run] > #24 0x32b61472 in UIApplicationMain > #25 0x00057088 in main at SDL_uikitappdelegate.m:50 > > Any ideas? > > See ya! > -- > -Sam Lantinga, Founder and President, Galaxy Gameworks LLC

* 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/audio/dummy/*.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:
