Fixed bug #675 Description From maf6@cornell.edu 2009-01-10 14:07:52 (-) [reply] Assuming the SDL project doesn't just want to pick these up from dinput8.lib or whatever instead, the definitions in SDL_dx5video.c should be: const DIDATAFORMAT c_dfDIKeyboard = { sizeof(DIDATAFORMAT), sizeof(DIOBJECTDATAFORMAT), 0x00000002, 256, 256, KBD_fmt }; const DIDATAFORMAT c_dfDIMouse = { sizeof(DIDATAFORMAT), sizeof(DIOBJECTDATAFORMAT), 0x00000002, 16, 7, PTR_fmt }; const DIDATAFORMAT c_dfDIJoystick = { sizeof(DIDATAFORMAT), sizeof(DIOBJECTDATAFORMAT), 0x00000001, 80, 44, JOY_fmt }; This way the call to IDirectInputDevice2_SetDataFormat in SDL_dx5events.c will succeed on x64.

The reason these libraries are built outside of the standard XFree86
tree is so that they can be linked as shared object code directly into
SDL without causing any symbol collisions with code in the application.

You can't link static library code into shared libraries on non-x86
Linux platforms.  Since these libraries haven't become standard yet,
we'll just include them directly.

These sources are synchronized with XFree86 4.2.1
