Date: Wed, 1 Feb 2006 18:20:33 -0800 From: Eric Wing 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

>SDL presents a very simple interface to the display framebuffer.  The
framebuffer is represented as an offscreen surface to which you can write
directly.  If you want the screen to show what you have written, call the <A
HREF="sdlupdaterects.html"
>update</A
> function which will
guarantee that the desired portion of the screen is updated.</P
><P
>Before you call any of the SDL video functions, you must first call
<SPAN
CLASS="TOKEN"
>SDL_Init(SDL_INIT_VIDEO)</SPAN
>, which initializes the video
and events in the SDL library.  Check the return code, which should be
<SPAN
CLASS="RETURNVALUE"
>0</SPAN
>, to see if there were any errors in starting up.</P
><P
>If you use both sound and video in your application, you need to call
<SPAN
CLASS="TOKEN"
>SDL_Init(SDL_INIT_AUDIO | SDL_INIT_VIDEO)</SPAN
> before opening the
sound device, otherwise under Win32 DirectX, you won't be able to set
full-screen display modes.</P
><P
>After you have initialized the library, you can start up the video display in a
number of ways.  The easiest way is to pick a common screen resolution and
depth and just initialize the video, checking for errors.  You will probably
get what you want, but SDL may be emulating your requested mode and converting
the display on update.  The best way is to
<A
HREF="sdlgetvideoinfo.html"
>query</A
>, for the best
video mode closest to the desired one, and then
<A
HREF="sdldisplayformat.html"
>convert</A
>
your images to that pixel format.</P
><P
>SDL currently supports any bit depth &gt;= 8 bits per pixel.  8 bpp formats are
considered 8-bit palettized modes, while 12, 15, 16, 24, and 32 bits per pixel
are considered "packed pixel" modes, meaning each pixel contains the RGB color
components packed in the bits of the pixel.</P
><P
>After you have initialized your video mode, you can take the surface that was
returned, and write to it like any other framebuffer, calling the update
routine as you go.</P
><P
>When you have finished your video access and are ready to quit your
application, you should call "<SPAN
CLASS="TOKEN"
>SDL_Quit()</SPAN
>" to shutdown the
video and events.</P
