Fixed bug #943

Hi:
Here are some small fixes for compiling SDL against mingw-w64.
(see http://mingw-w64.sourceforge.net/ . Despite the name, it
supports both win32 and win64.) Two patches, one for SDL-1.2
and one for SDL-1.3 attached.
src/audio/windx5/directx.h and src/video/windx5/directx.h (both
SDL-1.2 and SDL-1.3.) I get compilation errors about some union
not having a member named u1 and alike, because of other system
headers being included before this one and them already defining
DUMMYUNIONNAME and stuff. This header probably assumes that those
stuff are defined in windef.h, but mingw-w64 headers define them
in _mingw.h. Easily fixed by moving NONAMELESSUNION definition to
the top of the file. SDL_dx5yuv.c (SDL-1.2-only) also needs to
include the header before SDL_video.h to avoid the same problem.
src/thread/win32/SDL_systhread.c (both SDL-1.2 and SDL-1.3.) :
The __GNUC__ case for pfnSDL_CurrentBeginThread is 32-bit centric
because _beginthreadex returns uintptr_t, not unsigned long which
is 32 bits in win64. Changing the return type to uintptr_t fixes
it.
Hope these are useful. Thanks.

* Porting To A New Platform The first thing you have to do when porting to a new platform, is look at include/SDL_platform.h and create an entry there for your operating system. The standard format is __PLATFORM__, where PLATFORM is the name of the OS. Ideally SDL_platform.h will be able to auto-detect the system it's building on based on C preprocessor symbols. There are two basic ways of building SDL at the moment: 1. The "UNIX" way: ./configure; make; make install If you have a GNUish system, then you might try this. Edit configure.in, take a look at the large section labelled: "Set up the configuration based on the target platform!" Add a section for your platform, and then re-run autogen.sh and build! 2. Using an IDE: If you're using an IDE or other non-configure build system, you'll probably want to create a custom SDL_config.h for your platform. Edit SDL_config.h, add a section for your platform, and create a custom SDL_config_{platform}.h, based on SDL_config.h.minimal and SDL_config.h.in Add the top level include directory to the header search path, and then add the following sources to the project: src/*.c src/audio/*.c src/cdrom/*.c src/cpuinfo/*.c src/events/*.c src/file/*.c src/joystick/*.c src/stdlib/*.c src/thread/*.c src/timer/*.c src/video/*.c src/audio/disk/*.c src/video/dummy/*.c src/joystick/dummy/*.c src/cdrom/dummy/*.c src/thread/generic/*.c src/timer/dummy/*.c src/loadso/dummy/*.c Once you have a working library without any drivers, you can go back to each of the major subsystems and start implementing drivers for your platform. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask on the SDL mailing list: http://www.libsdl.org/mailing-list.php Enjoy! Sam Lantinga (slouken@libsdl.org)
