Subject: SDL/Universal Binary updates
Hi Sam,
Attached is a big set of changes to the Xcode projects to support
Universal Binaries. I have also included .dmgs that include the
prebuilt frameworks.
Ryan, I also updated SMPEG which is also in the package.
The SDL and smpeg binaries were built against the CVS version (pulled
maybe a month ago?).
I do not have an Intel Mac to test on so I have no idea if this stuff
actually works. However, Christian Walther has been a big help in
testing 10.2.8 and 10.3.9 so I'm fairly confident we got the build
settings correct for at least PPC.
I have attempted to document the important things for producing these
Universal Binaries. Documentation is somewhat scattered through out
everything, but there is a big centralized piece of documentation in
the UniversalBinaryNotes.rtf in the SDL.dmg.
As far as Universal Binaries are concerned, the big things were:
- Build with gcc 3.3 on PPC, 4.0 on Intel.
- We couldn't get any of the MMX/SSE code to compile/link (SDL and
smpeg).
- All 3rd party dependencies had to be rebuilt as Universal
There were also a bunch of non-Universal things that have been updated:
- I converted the SDL-satellites to create .dmg's instead of .pkg
installers
- Updated all 3rd party static libraries with current versions. (I
think libpng was the most dramatic going from 1.0.? to 1.2.8 with API
breakage. I haven't found any problems so far in doing this.)
- Changed some compiler optimization settings
- Finally updated the exports list for SDL_mixer
- Tried to include a static smpeg in SDL_mixer (multiple build
variants in Xcode project now)
- Enabled Altivec in SDL (we forgot to add the flags to Xcode last time)
- More documentation
Since so many things have changed, there might be new problems
introduced. The big issue I've found so far is with SDL_mixer. As I
mentioned on the mailing list, MP3's produce an assertion failure.
And the MikMod problem reported on Bugzilla continues to persist.
There's probably a bunch of other stuff I'm forgetting. There really
were hundreds of little things I mucked with so it's hard to remember
them all.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask.
Thanks,
Eric

============================================================================== Using the Simple DirectMedia Layer with EPOC/SymbianOS 6.0 ============================================================================== ============================================================================== I. Building the Simple DirectMedia Layer libraries: You can get Symbian SDK from: http://www.symbian.com. First create "Epoc" directory under SDL main directory and unpack EpocBuildFiles.zip in it. To build the librarys goto "epoc" directory and type: bldmake bldfiles abld makefile vc6 (for creating Microsoft Visual C++ makefiles) abld build wins udeb (building for wins emulator) abld build armi urel (building for real device) ============================================================================== II. Building the Simple DirectMedia Layer programs: Building SDL test programs is easy once you have built the libraries: abld test build wins udeb abld test build armi urel Supported real screen resolutions 320 x 200 x 8 bit 320 x 200 x 12 bit 640 x 200 x 8 bit 640 x 200 x 12 bit Supported "emulated" screen resolutions 640 x 400 x 8 bit 640 x 400 x 12 bit 640 x 480 x 8 bit 640 x 480 x 12 bit "Emulated" resolutions are implemented by by shrinking the screen vertically i.e. only every second scanline is drawn. This is mainly ment to be used for testing quick ports of programs. Using faked resolutions is a waste of memory and cpu power! ============================================================================== III. Running test programs Copy executable to the device and run it from the File manager. The Esc key quits demo programs. In Crystal, Exe programs do not appear in task list nor in Extras :-(. Test programs are tested in Nokia 9210 Communicator. Special keys used in SDL: The Caps lock key enables or disables the virtual cursor. Function keys are mapped as follows: F1=chr+q, F2=chr+w,..., F8=chr+i, F9=chr+a,..., F12=chr+d. ============================================================================== IV. Enjoy! :) If you have a project you'd like me to know about, or want to ask questions, go ahead and join the SDL developer's mailing list by sending e-mail to: sdl-request@libsdl.org and put "subscribe" into the subject of the message. Or alternatively you can use the web interface: http://www.libsdl.org/mailman/listinfo/sdl You can find more info about Epoc version of SDL from Hannu Viitala's homepage http://www.mbnet.fi/~haviital ==============================================================================
