Hi,
I did not yet have the time to look at the patches Ilya sent, so I can’t
comment on that but here are some quick notes on the results you are
getting…
Hmm, I don’t know what I’m doing wrong, exactly… I would think that I
could use your libs with mingw32ce, but maybe not. This is where I’m at:
$ /opt/mingw32ce/bin/arm-wince-mingw32ce-g++ -o testSDL.exe testSDL.cpp
-lSDLmain -lSDL
Warning: .drectve `/DEFAULTLIB:“coredll.lib” /DEFAULTLIB:“corelibc.lib”
’ unrecognized
I don’t know where these commands are coming from. They are commands for
the MS linker, propably inside SDLmain.lib, to get autolinking with MSVC.
I had lots of problems linking with import libs created by MSVC. My
current way is to create as much as possible using the gcc based
toolchain. If I absolutely have to link with a MSVC created dll, I
create a .def file using pexports.exe and then creating the import lib.a
using arm-mingw32ce-dlltool.
Something like:
Under Windows:
pexports.exe SDL.dll > SDL.def
under linux:
arm-mingw32ce-dlltool -l SDL.dll.a -d SDL.def -D SDL.dll
The resulting executable runs, but hangs after creating the display
surface. Trying to fill a rect causes it to complain of illegal operations.
So I should probably build my own SDL libs, but I’m having trouble
there, too. I’m building with mingw32ce as the host:
Thats the most reliable way…
$ make
/bin/sh ./build-scripts/updaterev.sh
/bin/sh ./libtool --mode=link /opt/mingw32ce/bin/arm-wince-mingw32ce-gcc
-o build/libSDL.la [Lots of object files here] -O2 -g
-L/opt/mingw32ce/local/lib -lm -lunicows -luser32 -lgdi32 -lmsimg32
-lwinmm -no-undefined -rpath /usr/local/cross-tools/i386-mingw32/lib
-release 1.3 -version-info 0:0:0
*** Warning: Linking the shared library build/libSDL.la against the
non-libtool
*** objects build/version.o is not portable!
rm -fr build/.libs/libSDL.dll.a
/opt/mingw32ce/bin/arm-wince-mingw32ce-gcc -shared [Lots of object
files here] -L/opt/mingw32ce/local/lib -lunicows -luser32 -lgdi32
-lmsimg32 -lwinmm -o build/.libs/SDL.dll -Wl,–enable-auto-image-base
-Xlinker --out-implib -Xlinker build/.libs/libSDL.dll.a
/opt/mingw32ce/lib/gcc/arm-wince-mingw32ce/4.1.0/…/…/…/…/arm-wince-mingw32ce/bin/ld:
cannot find -lunicows
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [build/libSDL.la] Error 1
It appears that I don’t have any of the libs: -lunicows -luser32 -lgdi32
-lmsimg32 -lwinmm
I wouldn’t expect that I’d need to get more libs. Is there something
I’m missing here?
configure picks up the mingw section in configure.in so you are
compiling for WIN32 not WinCE.
I had that problem also (See my mail “wince/gapi fixes”)
You have to move the wince block before the mingw32 block and let it
match *-mingw32ce. Then rerun autogen…

Okay, so I've uploaded the "epic success" sdl.dll to
http://folk.poesie.ru/powder/SDL.dll
Keep in mind that you'll also need
http://folk.poesie.ru/powder/SDL.lib and
http://folk.poesie.ru/powder/SDLMain.lib to make it build.
I can't guarantee that that's a finalest version of my SDL, but if you
have any troubles with it just drop their to the maillist.
