Fixed bug #281 ------- Comment #2 From Christian Walther 2006-07-23 07:37 [reply] ------- Wow, that was an interesting bug to chase. It was a timing issue: it seems that for some reason, a certain time must pass between ShowMenuBar() being called in QZ_UnsetVideoMode() and the application quitting. Before rev. 1885, this delay was provided by the slow hand-coded fade. With the asynchronous Core Graphics fading introduced in rev. 1885, that delay was no longer present (most of the time) and the bug became apparent. Adding an SDL_Delay(100) somewhere between ShowMenuBar() and the end of QZ_VideoQuit() lowered the frequency of the bug appearing from "almost every time" to "very rarely" here. However, there is another solution: doing the ShowMenuBar() before releasing the captured display instead of afterwards. Apparently, no delay is necessary in that case, and it looks nicer to me anyway because it is the reverse order of the way things are set up in the beginning: capture display - set video mode - hide menu bar - ... - show menu bar - reset video mode - release captured display. So, this is what the attached patch does. In addition, I've taken the liberty of - removing some unused code that I forgot to remove in rev. 1885, - fixing two warnings about undeclared functions in SDL_QuartzVideo.m by including OpenGL.h (whose name is a bit misleading - it only declares CGL stuff, so there's no interference with SDL_opengl.h).

==============================================================================
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:
