SDL’s Win32 FAQ tells:
SDL takes advantage of DirectX hardware acceleration when it is
available, but falls
back to the standard Win32 services if DirectX is not installed.
I cross-compiled my SDL application for win32 platform.
When I run it in a PC with win95 without DirectX drivers installed, it
tells me
“DINPUT.DLL not found”
Why it doesn’t fall back to standard Win32 (DIB) mode?
There is a compile flag to set?
Thanks

It’s supposed to. This is a bug.
Do you have DDRAW.DLL on that system?

Yes, there are:
DDRAW.DLL
DDRAW16.DLL
DDRAWEX.DLL
I think this is a PC with the native cofiguration of win95 (or with few
changes).
What this problem depends on?
Thanks

Wierd, I’ve never seen this combination of DLL’s. What about DINPUT.DLL?
