From: "Alex Volkov" Date: Thu, 10 Nov 2005 21:53:40 -0500 Subject: [SDL] BUG[?]: 32bpp RGBA->RGB colorkey blit, no SDL_SRCALPHA It seems there is either a documentation vs. reality mismatch or a real bug in SDL_blit_N.c:BlitNtoNKey(). The exact blit in question is a 32bpp RGBA->RGB, where RGBA has SDL_COLORKEY and *no* SDL_SRCALPHA flags. The doc in SDL_video.h states: * RGBA->RGB: * SDL_SRCALPHA not set: * copy RGB. * if SDL_SRCCOLORKEY set, only copy the pixels matching the * RGB values of the source colour key, ignoring alpha in the * comparison. BlitNtoNKey(), however, forgets to "ignore alpha in the comparison". The documentation makes perfect sense, so I think it is the code that is faulty. The attached patch corrects the code.

To compile and install SDL:

    1.  Run './configure; make; make install'

        If you are compiling for Windows using gcc, read the FAQ at:
        http://www.libsdl.org/faq.php?action=listentries&category=4#42

        If you are compiling using Visual C++ on Win32, you should read
        the file VisualC.html

    2.  Look at the example programs in ./test, and check out the HTML
        documentation in ./docs to see how to use the SDL library.

    3.  Join the SDL developer mailing list by sending E-mail to
    	sdl-request@libsdl.org
        and put "subscribe" in the subject of the message.

        Or alternatively you can use the web interface:
            http://www.libsdl.org/mailing-list.php

That's it!
