Date: Sat, 16 Aug 2003 16:22:56 +0300 From: "Mike Gorchak" Subject: Package building for QNX6 I'm just completed the package description file for QNX6 - qpg, it is like a\ .spec files for Linux. Please place SDL.qpg.in file in the root of the proj\ ect, where .spec file is placed. And sdl12qpg.diff - just adding the SDL.qpg\ .in. The same for the SDL_image. I'm planning to add .qpg files creation for\ all SDL* projects. As for shared library building for QNX6. It is very hard to improve the exis\ ting libtool code to support QNX shared libraries. Much easyiest is to remov\ e libtool.m4 code from the acinclude.m4 for those persons, who building shar\ ed libraries for QNX6. I'm described all what they need to do with .so under\ QNX6 in the README.QNX file. And 90% of people used the precompiled librari\ es, so I think it is not big problem :)

 ========================
  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...
