Daniel Wyatt 2010-03-26 14:52:53 PDT If a non-console Windows SDL program has a non-quoted 0th argument followed optionally by more non-quoted arguments and then by an empty quoted argument, it will crash (attempts to dereference a NULL pointer). In other words, something like this: test.exe [non-quoted args] "" [...] The fix is a one-liner in ParseCommandLine() of src/main/win32/SDL_win32_main.c. You can test this with any non-console SDL program on windows like this: 1) Open a console (cmd.exe) 2) Launch the program in one of the following ways: program "" program arg1 "" program arg1 "" arg3 These will not cause a crash: "program" [...] program "arg1" "" When a Windows program is launched from Explorer, its 0th argument seems to always be quoted, so it won't be a problem in that case. I've tested this on Windows XP SP3 and Windows 7.

SDL on Sony Playstation3
------------------------

Installation:
  First, you have to install the Cell SDK
  - Download the Cell SDK installer RPM and ISO images to
    a temporary directory such as /tmp/cellsdk.
  - Mount the image: mount -o loop CellSDK-Devel-Fedora_3.1.0.0.0.iso /tmp/cellsdk
  - Install the SDK installer: rpm -ivh cell-install-3.1.0-0.0.noarch.rpm
  - Install the SDK: cd /opt/cell && ./cellsdk --iso /tmp/cellsdkiso install

  You'll than need to install the SPU-libs
  - Run make ps3-libs && make ps3libs-install

  Finally, install SDL
  - Go to SDL-1.2/ and build SDL like any other GNU style package.
  e.g.
    - Build the configure-script with ./autogen.sh
    - Configure SDL for your needs: ./configure --enable-video-ps3 ...
    - Build and install it: make && make install


Todo:
  - Mouse & Keyboard support
  - On SPU-side the current scaler and converter restrictions are:
    - resolution has to be a multiple of 8 (will work on that)
    - scaler/converter only supports the YV12 and IYUV format
    - the scaler works only bilinear (lanzos would be nice)
  - Optimize the SPU-program handling on the PPE side
  - Integrate spumedia in SDL

Have fun!
