Fixed bug #901 Tim Angus 2009-12-11 11:45:46 PST Disable mouse event generation when state is not SDL_APPMOUSEFOCUS If a Windows SDL application is minimised by using alt-tab, SDL_APPMOUSEFOCUS is lost as part of the minimisation. Unfortunately, the directx driver doesn't pay any attention to this state when generating mouse button events, so clicking on the Desktop can cause mouse clicks in the SDL application, while it's still minimised. The attached patch fixes this. It looks much more complicated than it actually is due to indentation; here it is ignoring whitespace: tma@abraxas:~/sources/SDL-1.2-svn$ svn diff -x -b Index: src/video/windx5/SDL_dx5events.c =================================================================== --- src/video/windx5/SDL_dx5events.c (revision 5376) +++ src/video/windx5/SDL_dx5events.c (working copy) @@ -374,10 +374,9 @@ if ( !(SDL_GetAppState() & SDL_APPMOUSEFOCUS) ) { mouse_lost = 1; ClipCursor(NULL); - } - + } else { /* If the mouse was lost, regain some sense of mouse state */ - if ( mouse_lost && (SDL_GetAppState() & SDL_APPMOUSEFOCUS) ) { + if ( mouse_lost ) { POINT mouse_pos; Uint8 old_state; Uint8 new_state; @@ -548,6 +547,7 @@ if ( xrel || yrel ) { post_mouse_motion(1, xrel, yrel); } + } } /* The main Win32 event handler */

* 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/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!
