Fixed bug #615 Scott McCreary 2008-08-21 10:48:14 PDT This patch adds support for Haiku. http://ports.haiku-files.org/browser/haikuports/trunk/media-libs/libsdl/SDL-1.2.13-haiku.diff Haiku is an open-source recreation of BeOS. It has better POSIX compliance than beOS did, and other improved features, which in some cases causes us to have to "undo" previous BeOS workarounds. Here's our port log entry for it, showing the steps to force the changes into configure and Makefile: http://ports.haiku-files.org/wiki/media-libs/libsdl/1.2.13/1 Note that this was only tried on 1.2.13 stable so far. Haiku is using a newer config.guess / config.sub that doesn't yet seem to be in the released libtool, so we are having to copy it in for now. http://haiku-files.org/files/optional-packages/

SDL supports GAPI and WinDib output for Windows CE.

GAPI driver supports:

- all possible WinCE devices (Pocket PC, Smartphones, HPC)
  with different orientations of video memory and resolutions.
- 4, 8 and 16 bpp devices
- special handling of 8bpp on 8bpp devices
- VGA mode, you can even switch between VGA and GAPI in runtime
  (between 240x320 and 480x640 for example). On VGA devices you can
  use either GAPI or VGA.
- Landscape mode and automatic rotation of buttons and stylus coordinates.
  To enable landscape mode make width of video screen bigger than height.
  For example: 
    SDL_SetVideoMode(320,240,16,SDL_FULLSCREEN)
- WM2005
- SDL_ListModes

NOTE:
There are several SDL features not available in the WinCE port of SDL.

- DirectX is not yet available
- Semaphores are not available
- Joystick support is not available
- CD-ROM control is not available

In addition, there are several features that run in "degraded" mode:
