Fixed bug #1111 kwm@rainbow-runner.nl 2011-01-30 06:28:27 PST When building sdl 1.2.14 with the Clang compiler http://clang.llvm.org . The build fails in src/video/mmx.h with the following error: -------------------------------------------------- ./src/video/SDL_RLEaccel.c:831:5: error: invalid operand for instruction CHOOSE_BLIT(RLECLIPBLIT, alpha, fmt); ^ ./src/video/SDL_RLEaccel.c:831:17: note: instantiated from: CHOOSE_BLIT(RLECLIPBLIT, alpha, fmt); ^ ./src/video/SDL_RLEaccel.c:831:5: note: instantiated from: CHOOSE_BLIT(RLECLIPBLIT, alpha, fmt); ^ ./src/video/SDL_RLEaccel.c:647:23: note: instantiated from: blitter(2, Uint8, ALPHA_BLIT16_565MMX); \ ^ ./src/video/SDL_RLEaccel.c:282:4: note: instantiated from: movq_r2m(mm3, *dstp); \ ^ In file included from ./src/video/SDL_RLEaccel.c:99: ./src/video/mmx.h:379:28: note: instantiated from: #define movq_r2m(reg, var) mmx_r2m(movq, reg, var) ^ <scratch space>:192:1: note: instantiated from: "movq" ^ <inline asm>:1:2: note: instantiated into assembly here movq %mm3, %dx ^ -------------------------------------------------- According to the clang developers this is a invalid inline assembly. Using the attached patch from the last commit in the below bug report fixes the compile. More details from: http://llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=6730

 ========================
  Using SDL with PicoGUI
 ========================

- Originally contributed by Micah Dowty <micahjd@users.sourceforge.net>

PicoGUI is a scalable GUI system with a unique architecture, primarily focused
on scalability to various embedded systems. You can find more information
including a FAQ at http://picogui.org

To use the patch:

  1. When compiling, add the "--enable-video-picogui" switch to ./configure

  2. When running your program, ensure that the picogui driver for SDL
     is in use by setting the SDL_VIDEODRIVER environment variable 
     to "picogui".

  3. The program must also be linked to the C client library for PicoGUI
     (libpgui.so). If the program is being compiled with a patched SDL 
     installed this should be done automatically. If you want to use an
     existing binary with PicoGUI, you can set the LD_PRELOAD environment
     variable to the path of your libpgui.so file.

Capabilities:

  So far only basic functionality is provided on true color (linear16/24/32)
  devices. Accessing a memory mapped bitmap, updating the display, and handling
  mouse/keyboard input. This functionality has been tested with several
  applications, including mplayer, Xine, sldroids, and Abuse.

TODO list:

  - YUV overlays will be helpful for watching video on set top boxes or other
    embedded devices that have some graphics acceleration hardware

  - Account for rotated bitmap storage in pgserver

  - Support for hiding or changing the cursor

  - The display should be centered when the SDL application is smaller
    than the PicoGUI panel

  - Fullscreen or any other special modes

  - Support for indexed and grayscale modes

  - Probably much more...
