Date: Tue, 11 May 2004 22:05:32 -0400 From: Bob Ippolito Subject: [SDL] SDL_QuartzWM patches I've sent in two small patches to SDL_QuartzWM directly to Sam over the past few months (well, I think I sent both anyway) and neither of them have been implemented. I didn't receive a response, so I'm sure he was just busy and/or they got lost, so I decided to sign up to the list and post them here. This patch rolls both of them together: - Mouse cursor becomes visible if hidden when it moves outside of the game window. If you want it to stay invisible you should warp it because if it's not warped a user might click some random other application! Commercial games behave in this way (or at least Warcraft III does, which is the only one that uses a custom mouse cursor and no warping that I've played in recent memory). - Right mouse button emulation is changed from Command-Click to Control-Click, which is how OS X behaves. Consider copyright assigned to whomever needs it under whichever license it needs to be under.. yadda yadda yadda.

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!
