Added automated test to Xcode project plus needed changes to SDL_RWFromFile to be OS X bundle aware. The Mac OS X project has a new target called testsdl which builds the automated test. I looked at using Xcode's native unit test support, but the impedance mismatch between the existing automated test structure and Apple's was more than I could handle. As such, the testsdl application is a full blown proper OS X application, which means it is a self-contained .app bundle. This immediately revealed some problems from the automated test. The largest problem was the assumption about the current working directory and where to find resources. (I suspect Windows may have a similar problem depending on circumstance.) To open resources, the test was looking in directories relative to the SDL source directory, but this will not work well with self-contained .app bundles and Xcode which can place its built applications almost anywhere. And for real-world situations, this is pretty useless anyway. So I modified SDL_RWFromFile to do special things on OS X. First, it will look for a file in the .app bundle. If not found, it will fallback and just call fopen as it used to do. I also had to modify the automated test itself because it had a contrieved test which called fopen directly to do read from an existing FILE pointer. In addition, there was a write test. Since a .app bundle is likely going to be read-only, I added a special case for OS X to write to NSTemporaryDirectory. I expect these changes should work for both Mac and iPhone OS (which includes iPad). I will update the iPhone Xcode project next. Finally, FYI, the X11 automated test seems to be failing. Below is my output.

* 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!
