ok, good news for us windows users. i’ve got a patch here
that makes some small changes (only #defines and #ifdefs)
to two of the directx files in sdl.
these changes allow sdl to be compiled using either directx
5 or 7. no matter which version it is compiled against, it
can still run fine on other directx versions. the code works
as is with either sdk, so no need for preprocessor fiddling.
when SDL is compiled against directx5 or running on directx5
the hardware gamma controls will not be available. other than
that it works groovy.
this is my first real patch attempt. i used cvs to create this
for me, but it could be entirely wrong (?) just in case it
doesn’t work, i’ve taken the two changed files and zipped
them up together at the following url.
