Fixed bug #895 Markus Rothe 2009-12-07 09:32:46 PST Check if libspe2 is available Building on PowerPC64 results in: [...] In file included from ./src/video/ps3/SDL_ps3events_c.h:33, from ./src/video/ps3/SDL_ps3video.c:32: ./src/video/ps3/SDL_ps3video.h:34:21: error: libspe2.h: No such file or directory In file included from ./src/video/ps3/SDL_ps3events_c.h:33, from ./src/video/ps3/SDL_ps3video.c:32: ./src/video/ps3/SDL_ps3video.h:75: error: expected specifier-qualifier-list before 'spe_context_ptr_t' ./src/video/ps3/SDL_ps3video.c:78: error: expected '=', ',', ';', 'asm' or '__attribute__' before 'fb_writer_spu' ./src/video/ps3/SDL_ps3video.c: In function 'PS3_VideoInit': ./src/video/ps3/SDL_ps3video.c:167: error: 'spu_data_t' has no member named 'program' ./src/video/ps3/SDL_ps3video.c:167: error: 'fb_writer_spu' undeclared (first use in this function) [...] The problem is that the ps3 video driver is being build regardless if libspe2 is installed or not. The attached patch fixes this problem. [ Note: The other headers that are being checked for are coming from the linux headers package on powerpc64. As a result these are also available if you're on a generic powerpc64 machine and not a PS3 only. ]

SDL on Sony Playstation3
------------------------

Installation:
  First, you have to install the Cell SDK
  - Download the Cell SDK installer RPM and ISO images to
    a temporary directory such as /tmp/cellsdk.
  - Mount the image: mount -o loop CellSDK-Devel-Fedora_3.1.0.0.0.iso /tmp/cellsdk
  - Install the SDK installer: rpm -ivh cell-install-3.1.0-0.0.noarch.rpm
  - Install the SDK: cd /opt/cell && ./cellsdk --iso /tmp/cellsdkiso install

  You need to install the SPU-libs before installing SDL
  - Go to SDL-1.2/src/video/ps3/spulibs/
  - Run make && make install

  Finally, install SDL
  - Go to SDL-1.2/ and build SDL like any other GNU style package.
  e.g.
    - Build the configure-script with ./autogen.sh
    - Configure SDL for your needs: ./configure --enable-video-ps3 ...
    - Build and install it: make && make install


Todo:
  - mouse/keyboard/controller support

Have fun!
