Hi Sam,
I was working on porting SDL to irix6.X, and I’ve got things working
upto the linking. I doubt sound will work and probably some other stuff
would be broken, but I was wondering what kind of format we should
submit patches/diffs in?
I did a test by copying SDL to SDL.new and doing:
diff -Nrc SDL SDL.new > patch
Is this close to how we should submit changes or how should we do them?
Thanks,
Kent Mein

Very cool. Is it possible for me to get access to the system to add
audio and linking support?

Yup, that’s fine.

I think we can work something out.

Ok should be all set. Inside your dir there is SDL which is the current
snapshot. Then there is SDL.sgi which is the modified version.
I’m still having problems getting it to link,
I’ll leave it alone until I hear from you.
Also, In the root dir, I started a joystick.c which is a cleaned up
version of a joystick interface from jlib you can look at the orig in
JLIB/SOURCE/TARGET/SVGALIB
and JLIB/SOURCE/TARGET/COMM
It still needs quite a bit of work but I thought it was someplace to start.
Let me know if you have any troubles getting in.
