Tested the new patch to build with old CodeWarrior and MPW, and it seems it needed some hacks with those old headers... Just in case you want to support the archeological versions - here is a small add-on to the above patch, to fix those... http://www.algonet.se/~afb/SDL-1.2.9-classic.patch I couldn't get the old CW5 projects to build without a few modifications - such as deleting the stray old header in: "CWprojects/Support/Carbon/Include/ConditionalMacros.h" ? But I updated both projects to CW6 too and built for Carbon, and it ran all of the Mac test projects without any problems. The MPW file seems to have compiled, with a small order change. As long as you're still shipping the CWProjects and MPWmake with the download, they should probably be updated/fixed ? (another "solution" would of course be to just delete them) I'll post my new projects along with the new Xcode projects later on, along with XML exports of the various .mcp files. (CW5 builds for Classic / "PPC", and CW6 builds for Carbon) It'll be packaged as a part of the next SpriteWorld X release... http://spriteworldx.sourceforge.net/ [Classic/Carbon/Win/X11] --anders

  Using SDL with PicoGUI
 ========================

- Originally contributed by Micah Dowty <micahjd@users.sourceforge.net>

PicoGUI is a scalable GUI system with a unique architecture, primarily focused
on scalability to various embedded systems. You can find more information
including a FAQ at http://picogui.org

To use the patch:

  1. When compiling, add the "--enable-video-picogui" switch to ./configure

  2. When running your program, ensure that the picogui driver for SDL
     is in use by setting the SDL_VIDEODRIVER environment variable 
     to "picogui".

  3. The program must also be linked to the C client library for PicoGUI
     (libpgui.so). If the program is being compiled with a patched SDL 
     installed this should be done automatically. If you want to use an
     existing binary with PicoGUI, you can set the LD_PRELOAD environment
     variable to the path of your libpgui.so file.

Capabilities:

  So far only basic functionality is provided on true color (linear16/24/32)
  devices. Accessing a memory mapped bitmap, updating the display, and handling
  mouse/keyboard input. This functionality has been tested with several
  applications, including mplayer, Xine, sldroids, and Abuse.

TODO list:

  - YUV overlays will be helpful for watching video on set top boxes or other
    embedded devices that have some graphics acceleration hardware

  - Account for rotated bitmap storage in pgserver

  - Support for hiding or changing the cursor

  - The display should be centered when the SDL application is smaller
    than the PicoGUI panel

  - Fullscreen or any other special modes

  - Support for indexed and grayscale modes

  - Probably much more...
