I use a programming language called QB64. A few days ago the guy who makes it gave it the ability to link to dll’s. It uses SDL allready so linking to it is not a problem. However in order to use the flags values for commands we need the hex constants attributed to them.

We have these so far.

Code:

CONST SDL\_INIT\_TIMER = &H1  
CONST SDL\_INIT\_AUDIO = &H10  
CONST SDL\_INIT\_VIDEO = &H20  
CONST SDL\_INIT\_CDROM = &H100  
CONST SDL\_INIT\_JOYSTICK = &H200  
CONST SDL\_INIT\_NOPARACHUTE = &H100000 '/\* Don’t catch fatal signals _/  
CONST SDL\_INIT\_EVENTTHREAD = &H1000000 '/_ Not supported on all OS’s \*/  
CONST SDL\_INIT\_EVERYTHING = &HFFFF

Does anyone know where i could find them/have them allready? I looked everywhere to no avail.

Thanks

John

Try looking in the headers of the SDL source package.On Sun, Dec 5, 2010 at 8:40 AM, Unseen Machine wrote:

Will do, i found the joystick ones allready. 😃

Where can i find the typedef’s though? They need to be converted to QB64 varibles types as we can’t use the actual types in the headers themeselves.

Thanks for the fast reply,

John

Try SDL\_config\_win32.h, or whatever OS you’re using. It’s in the include  
directory.On Sun, Dec 5, 2010 at 10:33 AM, Unseen Machine wrote:
