Date: Sun, 25 Jul 2004 23:10:03 +0800 From: Chris Taylor Subject: SDL for Macintosh Programmer's Workshop: removed dynamic loading I'm working on a game called D2X which uses SDL, and I recently ported it to Mac OS 9. I used MPW to build it. It uses OpenGL. To get it to work, I had to build SDL so it doesn't dynamically load OpenGL. This is because I don't think MPW supports dynamic loading. The following patch makes sure when SDL is built under MPW, dynamic loading of shared libraries is disabled.

You can't free locked surfaces!

Date: Wed, 23 Jun 2004 17:05:33 -0400 From: Chris Nelson Subject: [SDL] [Patch] WiseGroup MP-8800 / MP-8866 (PS2 Joystick) In the current cvs version, SDL doesn't handle these Playstation2 controller => USB adapters correctly, in linux. It will always assume that the maximum number of joysticks (2 in the case of the MP-8866, 4 in the case of the 8800) are plugged in. This is bad not only because it allows SDL to exaggerate the number of logical joysticks, but primarily because the joystick axes are mapped incorrectly, all over the place, such that the devices are effectively unusable unless you have the maximum number of joysticks plugged in. My changes to src/joystick/linux/SDL_sysjoystick.c build on another's previous work (which was a special case for this very joystick, actually), and fix both of these problems, as well as making the current code a little more general, to allow for others to more easily drop in code for quirky joysticks such as these. I've tested this code under 2.6.7 as well as 2.4.24... Both work as advertised (provided you load the JOYDEV linux code as a module, otherwise they won't work at all, new code or old, but that's another issue entirely). Though this sounds horribly formal, you have my permission to distribute all of my work on this issue under the LGPL. So there.
