Subject: SDL for Macintosh Programmer's Workshop: removed dynamic loading
I'm working on a game called D2X which uses SDL, and I recently ported
it to Mac OS 9. I used MPW to build it. It uses OpenGL. To get it to
work, I had to build SDL so it doesn't dynamically load OpenGL. This is
because I don't think MPW supports dynamic loading. The following patch
makes sure when SDL is built under MPW, dynamic loading of shared
libraries is disabled.

.TH "SDL_SemWaitTimeout" "3" "Tue 11 Sep 2001, 23:00" "SDL" "SDL API Reference" .SH "NAME" SDL_SemWaitTimeout\- Lock a semaphore, but only wait up to a specified maximum time\&. .SH "SYNOPSIS" .PP \fB#include "SDL\&.h" #include "SDL_thread\&.h" .sp \fBint \fBSDL_SemWaitTimeout\fP\fR(\fBSDL_sem *sem, Uint32 timeout\fR); .SH "DESCRIPTION" .PP \fBSDL_SemWaitTimeout()\fP is a varient of \fISDL_SemWait\fR with a maximum timeout value\&. If the value of the semaphore pointed to by \fBsem\fR is positive (greater than zero) it will atomically decrement the semaphore value and return 0, otherwise it will wait up to \fBtimeout\fR milliseconds trying to lock the semaphore\&. This function is to be avoided if possible since on some platforms it is implemented by polling the semaphore every millisecond in a busy loop\&. .PP After \fBSDL_SemWaitTimeout()\fP is successful, the semaphore can be released and its count atomically incremented by a successful call to \fISDL_SemPost\fR\&. .SH "RETURN VALUE" .PP Returns \fB0\fR if the semaphore was successfully locked or either \fBSDL_MUTEX_TIMEOUT\fR or \fB-1\fR if the timeout period was exceeded or there was an error, respectivly\&. .PP If the semaphore was not successfully locked, the semaphore will be unchanged\&. .SH "EXAMPLES" .PP .PP .nf \f(CWres = SDL_SemWaitTimeout(my_sem, WAIT_TIMEOUT_MILLISEC); if (res == SDL_MUTEX_TIMEOUT) { return TRY_AGAIN; } if (res == -1) { return WAIT_ERROR; } \&.\&.\&.
