Re: [B2-devel] SDL target

Hi,

SDL graphics is now somewhat working for both Basilisk II and=20
SheepShaver. I still have to do some cleaning but at least differences=20=

are now minimal. I have built a MacOS X.2 SheepShaver binary and it is=20=

only 750 KB stripped with SDL libraries statically linked in. Problem:=20=

it's twice as slow as the Linux/X11 version. :-(

BTW, I will likely move display-independent code for NQD support to=20
gfxaccel.cpp in the top src dir. I think with very little changes, the=20=

BeOS version could use that too. Currently, NQD is duplicated in SDL/=20
and Unix/ directories, that's bad.

That's what I saw. :-( I will have to check how to minimally use OS X=20
libraries from Nigel's support code for MacOS X.

It turns out keyboard support for SDL is flaky (as with X11 keysyms)=20
unless you use Window Server dependent scancodes/keycodes or you are=20
using US only operating systems. I will add Quartz mappings but I only=20=

have a PBG4 so some keys will be missing.

If we could at least do InputSprockets support for mouse, that would be=20=

nice. ;-) I tried to see several times ago where the problem was and I=20=

failed. e.g. in Unreal, the mouse pointer remains sticked to the upper=20=

left hand corner with no possible motion at all.

Bye,
