I just downloaded the latest SDL2 from mercurial and when I compile the various demo projects, they all seem to compile fine but when the demo projects are run, they all seem to just give a black screen. If I put a printf in rectangles.c’s render function, I can see that it is rendering when it should be, but nothing seems to actually make it to the screen, neither on the device nor on the simulator.
Has anyone else experienced this? Is this indicative of a bug in SDL, an outdated demo project, or something else?

My iPad is the new iPad running the latest iPad OS, and I’ve simulated the iPad and iPhone, retina or non-retina, and the result is always a black screen.
I’m using Xcode 4.4 to compile and I just got the latest SDL2 earlier today, so I know I am up to date.
Have you tried getting the latest SDL2 from mercurial, and have you been able to render anything to a screen with any of the demo projects?
Not sure if this is the problem but if you look in the patches that have been added to the SDL project, Sam added untested patch. I tested it the same day and got black screen just like you. He had ask me if I revert to old SDL before patch if it works and I said yes. So i’m assuming it still has the same problem. You should try to download the project from SDL website and see if that one works.

Ok, glad to know I wasn’t just doing something wrong.
Regarding downloading SDL from the website, exactly where else is SDL2 being hosted besides the mercurial site?
http://www.libsdl.org/download-1.2.php and http://www.libsdl.org/release/ don’t seem to have SDL2.

Did you try the SDL2 linked there? It still just renders the black screen for me.
Try now. I think I just fixed it. :)On Tue, Jul 31, 2012 at 7:48 PM, Trev wrote:

It does indeed work now.
