Fixed bug #714 fuzzyTew@gmail.com 2009-03-14 15:18:45 PDT Created an attachment (id=305) [details] patch to change HAVE_ICONV to HAVE_ICONV_H There are two separate iconv checks in configure -- one for the header file and one for the library. include/SDL_stdinc.h uses the library define to see whether or not it should reference the types defined in the header, which naturally breaks if the library exists and the header does not.

>Event handling allows your application to receive input from the user. Event handling is initalised (along with video) with a call to:
<PRE
CLASS="PROGRAMLISTING"
>SDL_Init(SDL_INIT_VIDEO);</PRE
>
Internally, SDL stores all the events waiting to be handled in an event queue. Using functions like <A
HREF="sdlpollevent.html"
><TT
CLASS="FUNCTION"
>SDL_PollEvent</TT
></A
> and <A
HREF="sdlpeepevents.html"
><TT
CLASS="FUNCTION"
>SDL_PeepEvents</TT
></A
> you can observe and handle waiting input events.</P
><P
>The key to event handling in SDL is the <A
HREF="sdlevent.html"
><SPAN
CLASS="STRUCTNAME"
>SDL_Event</SPAN
></A
> union. The event queue itself is composed of a series of <SPAN
CLASS="STRUCTNAME"
>SDL_Event</SPAN
> unions, one for each waiting event. <SPAN
CLASS="STRUCTNAME"
>SDL_Event</SPAN
> unions are read from the queue with the <TT
CLASS="FUNCTION"
>SDL_PollEvent</TT
> function and it is then up to the application to process the information stored with them.</P
