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

Wish list for the 1.3 development branch:

 * Use /etc/fb.modes, if available, like GGI does
 * Add mousewheel events (new unified event architecture?)
 * DirectInput joystick support needs to be implemented
 * Be able to enumerate and select available audio and video drivers
 * Fullscreen video mode support for MacOS X
 * Explicit vertical retrace wait (maybe separate from SDL_Flip?)
 * Shaped windows, windows without borders
 * Multiple windows, multiple display support
 * SDL_INIT_EVENTTHREAD on Windows and MacOS?
 * Add a timestamp to events
 * Use RDTSC for timer resolution on x86 hardware
 * Add audio input API
 * Add hardware accelerated scaled blit
 * Add hardware accelerated alpha blits
 * Redesign blitting architecture to allow blit plugins

In the jump from 1.2 to 1.3, we should change the SDL_Rect members to
int and evaluate all the rest of the datatypes.  This is the only place
we should do it though, since the 1.2 series should not break binary
compatibility in this way.

Requests:
 * PCM and CDROM volume control (deprecated, but possible)
