SDL for WinCE

SDL Development
1

Hey all,

I’m recreating the game of Simon (remember that big disc with 4 buttons that
light up?) for my course project at school, and I’d like to use SDL for the
API. However, I haven’t been able to get it to compile. Can anyone point me in
the right direction for this?-------------------------

I’m not sure if SDL has been ported to WinCE? You’ll
probably have to use the windib (?) backend (the
default being DirectX, which I presume is NOT
supported on CE)…

I’m not an expert on the SDL source code and it’s
organization, but it sounds plausable to me that if
you butchered out the DirectX, and possibly the
Sound/Mixer parts of the library… then you might be
able to get it to compile…

But I really don’t know.

Sorry to be so unhelpful ^_^…

No worries.
If you look in the source code for SDL, there is a VisualCE zip file, which
does contain the code for compiling SDL for WinCE. However, I can’t get the
code to compile, no matter how much time I spend on it.

Ok… so what kind of errors are you getting? I don’t
have the CE compiler installed at the moment, so I
can’t try it myself…

I was trying to compile it for ARM procesor (with EmVC4),
and I was succesfull, but you must do this:

  1. add SDL_cpuinfo.c to project files.
  2. in SDL_cpuinfo.c you must add some #ifdef or comment
    the code for 386 architecture.

I don?t know if there is any other posibilities,
but this works for me fine.
If there isn?t, is here anybody who can fix it in cvs?

There is only one problem for me,
i can?t recognize which button was pressed, is there
anybody know how to do this?-------------------------------
