Subject:  [VOICENWS] SW: SDL for OS/2 and eCS


From: Adrian Gschwend <ktkDESPAM at netlabs.org> 


Doodle ported libsdl to OS/2 and eCS, the code is based on the version
1.2.6.

The following things are missing from this SDL implementation:
 - CD-ROM
 - Joystick
 - Any kind of hardware acceleration or optimization
 - Window Manager messages

About SDL:

Simple DirectMedia Layer is a cross-platform multimedia library designed
to provide low level access to audio, keyboard, mouse, joystick, 3D
hardware via OpenGL, and 2D video framebuffer. It is used by MPEG playback
software, emulators, and many popular games, including the award winning
Linux port of "Civilization: Call To Power." 

This library is not really used yet on OS/2 but this should eliminate the
chicken/egg problem at least ;)

The future of the port depends on the need for it so you are welcome to
port games and other things based on libsdl to OS/2 and eCS. Check the
project homepage for more ideas: 

http://www.libsdl.org

Any patches, enhancements or questions regarding the OS/2 port (and just
such questions!) can be sent to "doodle a t scenergy.dfmk.hu"

Compiler used for this port: OpenWatcom, but GCC should probably work as
well with some minor changes of the original makefiles (patches are
welcome).

Files:
ftp://ftp.netlabs.org/pub/sdl/SDL-1.2.6.zip
   -> this is the full SDL1.2.6 source code with .obj files and .exe files
inside ftp://ftp.netlabs.org/pub/sdl/SDL-2004-04-26-OS2Only.zip
   -> this contains only source code, and only the ones needed to compile
it on OS/2

enjoy!

Doodle & Adrian Gschwend
