Fixed bug #943 Ozkan Sezer 2010-02-06 12:31:06 PST 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.

Project files for embedded Visual C++ 3.0, 4.0 and 
Visual Studio 2005 can be found in VisualCE.zip

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:

Preprocessor Symbol		Effect
===================		=================================

SDL_systimer.c:
USE_GETTICKCOUNT		Less accurate values for SDL time functions
USE_SETTIMER			Use only a single marginally accurate timer

SDL_syswm.c:
DISABLE_ICON_SUPPORT		Can't set the runtime window icon

SDL_sysmouse.c:
USE_STATIC_CURSOR		Only the arrow cursor is available

SDL_sysevents.c:
NO_GETKEYBOARDSTATE		Can't get modifier state on keyboard focus

SDL_dibevents.c:
NO_GETKEYBOARDSTATE		Very limited keycode translation

SDL_dibvideo.c:
NO_GETDIBITS			Can't distinguish between 15 bpp and 16 bpp
NO_CHANGEDISPLAYSETTINGS	No fullscreen support
NO_GAMMA_SUPPORT		Gamma correction not available
