Date: Mon, 23 Mar 2009 09:17:24 +0200 From: "Mike Gorchak" Subject: New QNX patches Please apply patch qnx4.diff, which is attached. What has been done: 1)Added back OpenGL ES renderer for QNX target. Added few corrections to OpenGL ES renderer to let it work under QNX. OpenGL ES renderer do not support textures under QNX, so I think some additional work must be done. 2) Added GL_OES_query_matrix extension to SDL_opengles.h header file, which required by OpenGL ES 1.1 specification. 3) Added attribute clearing at the entrance of function SDL_GL_GetAttribure(). Added error checking into the function SDL_GL_GetAttribure(), because some attributes can't be obtained in OpenGL ES 1.0. 4) Porting testdyngles to OpenGL ES 1.0 (1.1 has glColor4ub() and glColor4f() functions, but 1.0 has glColor4f() only). 5) Added error checking after obtaining attributes using SDL_GL_GetAttribute() function to the testgl2 and testgles. 6) Small correction to testmultiaudio with printing errors. 7) Added software and accelerated OpenGL ES 1.0 support into the QNX GF driver. Please remove ./src/audio/nto directory - it will not be used anymore. Please create ./src/audio/qsa directory and add content of the archive qsa.tar.gz into this directory. I rewrote some sound code, added support for multiple audio cards, enumeration, etc. Added initial support for capture. As far as I can understand SDL 1.3 is not supporting audio capture right now ? Sam, Am I right ? Or audio capture must be supported through the PlayDevice routine ? And last, please put file SDL_gf_opengles.c to the ./src/video/qnxgf directory. It is OpenGL ES 1.1 emulation layer for some functions, which are not supported by OpenGL ES 1.0.

* Porting To A New Platform

  The first thing you have to do when porting to a new platform, is look at
include/SDL_platform.h and create an entry there for your operating system.
The standard format is __PLATFORM__, where PLATFORM is the name of the OS.
Ideally SDL_platform.h will be able to auto-detect the system it's building
on based on C preprocessor symbols.

There are two basic ways of building SDL at the moment:

1. The "UNIX" way:  ./configure; make; make install

   If you have a GNUish system, then you might try this.  Edit configure.in,
   take a look at the large section labelled:
	"Set up the configuration based on the target platform!"
   Add a section for your platform, and then re-run autogen.sh and build!

2. Using an IDE:

   If you're using an IDE or other non-configure build system, you'll probably
   want to create a custom SDL_config.h for your platform.  Edit SDL_config.h,
   add a section for your platform, and create a custom SDL_config_{platform}.h,
   based on SDL_config.h.minimal and SDL_config.h.in

   Add the top level include directory to the header search path, and then add
   the following sources to the project:
	src/*.c
	src/audio/*.c
	src/cdrom/*.c
	src/cpuinfo/*.c
	src/events/*.c
	src/file/*.c
	src/joystick/*.c
	src/stdlib/*.c
	src/thread/*.c
	src/timer/*.c
	src/video/*.c
	src/audio/disk/*.c
	src/audio/dummy/*.c
	src/video/dummy/*.c
	src/joystick/dummy/*.c
	src/cdrom/dummy/*.c
	src/thread/generic/*.c
	src/timer/dummy/*.c
	src/loadso/dummy/*.c


Once you have a working library without any drivers, you can go back to each
of the major subsystems and start implementing drivers for your platform.

If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask on the SDL mailing list:

Enjoy!
