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. ]

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