Using the Simple DirectMedia Layer with Qtopia/OPIE
|
|
==============================================================================
|
|
|
|
==============================================================================
|
|
I. Setting up the Qtopia development environment.
|
|
|
|
This document will not explain how to setup the Qtopia development
|
|
environment. That is outside the scope of the document. You can read
|
|
more on this subject in this excellent howto:
|
|
|
|
http://www.zauruszone.com/howtos/linux_compiler_setup_howto.html
|
|
|
|
==============================================================================
|
|
II. Building the Simple DirectMedia Layer libraries using the arm
|
|
cross-compiler
|
|
|
|
This is somewhat tricky since the name of the compiler binaries
|
|
differ from the standard. Also you should disable features not
|
|
needed. The command below works for me. Note that it's all one
|
|
line. You can also set the NM, LD etc environment variables
|
|
separately.
|
|
|
|
NM=arm-linux-nm LD=arm-linux-ld CC=arm-linux-gcc CXX=arm-linux-g++ RANLIB=arm-linux-ranlib AR=arm-linux-ar ./configure --enable-video-qtopia --disable-video-dummy --disable-video-fbcon --disable-video-dga --disable-arts --disable-esd --disable-alsa --disable-cdrom --disable-video-x11 --disable-nasm --prefix=/opt/Qtopia/sharp/ arm-unknown-linux-gnu
|
|
|
|
One thing to note is that the above configure will include joystick
|
|
support, even though you can't have joysticks on the Zaurus. The
|
|
reason for this is to avoid link / compile / runtime errors with
|
|
applications that have joystick support.
|
|
|
|
==============================================================================
|
|
III. Building the Simple DirectMedia Layer test programs:
|
|
|
|
After installing, making sure the correct sdl-config is in your
|
|
path, run configure like this:
|
|
|
|
NM=arm-linux-nm LD=arm-linux-ld CC=arm-linux-gcc CXX=arm-linux-g++ AR=arm-linux-ar ./configure arm-unknown-linux-gnu
|
|
|
|
==============================================================================
|
|
IV. Application porting notes
|
|
|
|
One thing I have noticed is that applications sometimes don't exit
|
|
correctly. Their icon remains in the taskbar and they tend to
|
|
relaunch themselves automatically. I believe this problem doesn't
|
|
occur if you exit your application using the exit() method. However,
|
|
if you end main() with 'return 0;' or so, this seems to happen.
|
|
|
|
Also note that when running in landscape mode - i.e requesting a
|
|
window that is HEIGHT pixels wide and WIDTH pixels high, where WIDTH
|
|
and HEIGHT normally is 240 and 320 - the image is blitted so that
|
|
the hardware buttons are on the left side of the display. This might
|
|
not always be desirable but such is the code today.
|
|
|
|
|
|
==============================================================================
|
|
V. Enjoy! :)
|
|
|
|
If you have a project you'd like me to know about, or want to ask questions,
|
|
go ahead and join the SDL developer's mailing list by sending e-mail to:
|
|
|
|
sdl-request@libsdl.org
|
|
|
|
and put "subscribe" into the subject of the message. Or alternatively you
|
|
can use the web interface:
|
|
|
|
http://www.libsdl.org/mailman/listinfo/sdl
|
|
|
|
==============================================================================
|
|
VI. What is supported:
|
|
|
|
Keyboard (Sharp Zaurus)
|
|
Hardware buttons
|
|
Stylus input (mouse)
|
|
Video. Allows fullscreen both in portrait mode (up to WIDTHxHEIGHT
|
|
size window) and in landscape mode (up to HEIGHTxWIDTH).
|
|
|
|
All other SDL functionality works like a normal Linux system (threads,
|
|
audio etc).
