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

================================================================= Patch version 0.9 of SDL(Simple DirectMedia Layer) for Nano-X API ================================================================= Authors: Hsieh-Fu Tsai, clare@setabox.com Greg Haerr, greg@censoft.com This patch is against SDL version 1.2.4. It enhances previous patch 0.8 by providing direct framebuffer access as well as dynamic hardware pixel type support, not requiring a compile-time option setting for different framebuffer modes. Tested against Microwindows version 0.89pre9. Older Microwindows versions =========================== If running on a version older than Microwindows 0.89pre9, the following items might need to be patched in Microwindows. 1. Patch src/nanox/client.c::GrClose() It fixes the client side GrClose(). In the original version, GrOpen() can only be called once. When the GrOpen() is called at the second time, the program will terminate. In order to prevent this situation, we need to insert "nxSocket = -1" after "close(nxSocket)" in GrClose(). If you do not have this problem, you may skip this step. 2. Patch src/nanox/clientfb.c to return absolute x,y coordinates when using GrGetWindowFBInfo(). Copy the version 0.89pre9 of src/nanox/clientfb.c to your system, or configure using --disable-nanox-direct-fb. ============= Quick Install ============= 1. ./configure --disable-video-x11 --disable-video-fbcon \ --enable-video-nanox \ --with-nanox-pixel-type=[rgb/0888/888/565/555/332/pal] 2. make clean 3. make 4. make install (as root) ============ Nitty-gritty ============ --enable-nanox-direct-fb Use direct framebuffer access --enable-nanox-debug Show debug messages --enable-nanox-share-memory Use shared-memory to speed up When running multi-threaded applications using SDL, such as SMPEG, set THREADSAFE=Y in Microwindows' config file, to enable GrXXX() system call critical section support. ============================================= Some programs can be used to test this patch. ============================================= 1. http://www.cs.berkeley.edu/~weimer/atris (a tetris-like game) 2. http://www.libsdl.org/projects/newvox/ 3. http://www.libsdl.org/projects/xflame/ 4. http://www.libsdl.org/projects/optimum/ 5. http://www.gnugeneration.com/software/loop/ 6: http://www.lokigames.com/development/smpeg.php3 (SMPEG version 0.4.4) ========= Todo List ========= 1. Create hardware surface 2. Create YUVOverlay on hardware 3. Use OpenGL 4. Gamma correction 5. Hide/Change mouse pointer 6. Better window movement control with direct fb access 7. Palette handling in 8bpp could be improved ===================== Supporting Institutes ===================== Many thanks to go to Setabox Co., Ltd. and CML (Communication and Multimedia Laboratory, http://www.cmlab.csie.ntu.edu.tw/) in the Department of Computer Science and Information Engineering of National Taiwan University for supporting this porting project.
