SDL 1.3 and XCode 4.5

SDL Development
1

So, iOS 6 is out and - in order to test my app on a physical device - I updated XCode to version 4.5 this morning.
Before that, almost everything worked just fine, using SDL 1.3.

Now I have a good number of issues to deal with:

  • On simulator, the screen is rendered in portrait mode regardless of the width/height ratio I set in SDL_CreateWindow().
    I call:

Code:

#define GAME_TITLE “MySDLGame”

const int SCREEN_W = 480;
const int SCREEN_H = 320;

//[…]

window = SDL_CreateWindow(GAME_TITLE, 0, 0, SCREEN_W, SCREEN_H, SDL_WINDOW_SHOWN|SDL_WINDOW_BORDERLESS|SDL_WINDOW_FULLSCREEN);

This is the result, while displaying the initial logo (which should be, obviously, fullscreen):

On device, however, this works fine.

  • While debugging on device, debuggers acts crazy, jumping between lines of code totally unrelated to each other and displaying weird variable values. However, if I place no breakpoints, everything seems to work fine.

Anyone had similar problems? Are there known fixes or workarounds?

Thanks in advance :smiley:

SDL rotation on iOS has been recently updated so the best suggestion is to
try the latest development version from HG (and get rid of any sdl-1.3
references, sdl-2 ftw).

Cheers,
