SDL port for the Google Native Client SDK

SDL Development
1

Hi,

It seems there is some SDL port already here:
http://code.google.com/p/nativeclient/source/browse#svn/trunk/src/third_party/sdl%3Fstate%3Dclosed

(Only the binaries there.)

Although I haven’t found the source of it nor the change set to the original SDL sources. And neither any documentation.

Does anyone have some references to it? I have read elsewhere (related to the Quake port to NaCl) that this SDL port is somewhat restricted.

I’m also interested in an OpenAL port (probably based on the OpenAL Soft implementation).

Have someone already ported a SDL game to NaCl? Can someone share some experiences?

Thanks,
Albert

I doubt that they work just out of the box. Afaik, the nexe format is a bit different. Also, not the full POSIX layer or libc is available. And I think you need to use the special NaCl functions to access the screen and to get input events. And you must use their special compiler because it must use some restricted set of x86 assembler (to ensure that it can be sandboxed) – the unmodified GCC and other compilers don’t work yet.

So, some heavy porting work is required, and such work isnt being made yet?–
