Date: Fri, 19 Nov 2004 06:23:53 -0800 (PST) From: Eric Wing Subject: OS X Mouse inversion problem fix (again) Here's yet another patch for the OS X mouse inversion problem. This should fix the problem once and for all. I know I've said this before, but *This time for sure!* :) If you recall, my last patch broke the non-OpenGL windowed code and caused the inversion to occur there instead. Max submitted a patch that partially reverted the changes back which included the os version hack which is currently the most recent CVS. Aaron Sullivan identified and reported to the mailing list the other day, that the last partial regression of the code broke OS X 10.2. Looking over the results, I'm thinking that I was slightly more successful than I thought at unifying the code. I think I was trying to unify the code base for OpenGL and non-OpenGL windowed modes for all versions of the OS. It looks like I failed at at unifying the OpenGL and non-OpenGL code, but I did succeed at unifying the OS versions. Thus, we no longer need the hack for the OS version checks. The partial regression still included an OS check which is what broke things for < 10.3. Attached is the patch for SDL_QuartzWM.m. It basically is a half-line change that removes one of the two checks that decides if the mouse coordinates need to be inverted, i.e: if (system_version >= 0x1030 && (SDL_VideoSurface->flags & SDL_OPENGL) ) becomes this: if(SDL_VideoSurface->flags & SDL_OPENGL) With Aaron's outstanding help, we have collectively tested: windowed OpenGL windowed non-OpenGL fullscreen OpenGL fullscreen non-OpenGL under OS X 10.2 (Jaguar), 10.3 (Panther), and 10.4 (Tiger). We don't have access to 10.0 or 10.1, but since the original problem didn't materialize until 10.3, I'm hopeful that testing 10.2 is sufficient. And now that the code is uniform, I'm also hoping we'll be safe moving forward to deal with future revisions of the OS with this issue.

==============================================================================
Using the Simple DirectMedia Layer with MacOS 7,8,9 on PPC
==============================================================================

These instructions are for people using the Apple MPW environment:
http://developer.apple.com/tools/mpw-tools/

CodeWarrior projects are available in the CWprojects directory.

==============================================================================
I.  Building the Simple DirectMedia Layer libraries:
    (This step isn't necessary if you have the SDL binary distribution)

  First, unpack the MPWmake.sea.hqx archive and move SDL.make into the
  SDL directory.

  Start MPW

  Set the current directory within MPW to the SDL toplevel directory.

  Build "SDL"  (Type Command-B and enter "SDL" in the dialog)

  If everything compiles successfully, you now have the PPC libraries
  "SDL" and "SDLmain.o" in the 'lib' subdirectory.

==============================================================================
II. Building the Simple DirectMedia Layer test programs:

  First, unpack the MPWmake.sea.hqx archive, move the new rsrc directory to
  the main SDL directory, and move the makefiles in the new test subdirectory
  to the SDL 'test' subdirectory.

  Start MPW

  Set the current directory within MPW to the SDL 'test' subdirectory.

  Build the programs that have an associated MPW makefile (file ending
  with .make), including "testwin", "testalpha", and "graywin".

  Copy the SDL library file into the test directory, and run!

==============================================================================
III. Building the Simple DirectMedia Layer demo programs:

  Copy one of the test program Makefiles to the demo directory
  and modify it to match the sources in the demo.

==============================================================================
IV.  Enjoy! :)

  If you have a project you'd like me to know about, or want to ask questions,
  go ahead and join the SDL developer's mailing list by sending e-mail to:

	sdl-request@libsdl.org

  and put "subscribe" into the subject of the message. Or alternatively you
  can use the web interface:
