Hello !

I am unable access CVS repository by clicking the following link
http://www.libsdl.org/cvs/WinCE-SDL.zip<http://www.libsdl.org/cvs/WinCE-
SDL.zip>

As SDL is using SVN now, the CVS dir. is not working anymore.
There is a file called WinCE-SDL.zip that is available in
http://www.libsdl.org/tmp/WinCW-SDL.zip

This is obsolete. The SDL pre-release snapshot has EVC++ projects:

Hi,

Hey, it is already ported and works perfectly.
So just download an SVN or latest SVN snapshot and test it before
sunday. (do not forget to copy config.h.default to config.h before
compiling).> I am unable access CVS repository by clicking the following link

Hi

I have taken SDL WinCE.zip and started compiling with embedded Visual C++
4.0 with SP4. While compiling SDL source files in the folder VisualCE i am
getting error in the file SDL_blit_A.c. The error is as follows

…\SDL\src\video\SDL_blit_A.c(208) : fatal error C1600: unsupported data
type

The return type of the function at the corresponding line is static void.
I think there is as such no error. Is there any thing to include or should i
change some compiler settings. please let me know and suggest me some
solution for this problem

Thanks in advance

Hi

I have taken from SVN and compiled using Visual Studio 2005. It worked fine.
Thank you very much for your kind reply.

Is there any support of SDL joysticks for WinCE. Actually i am new to WinCE,
i have been given a task of physical user interface on WinCE using SDL. Can
you please give me some suggestion that physical user interface using SDL on
WinCE will be fine?. If not what problems have to face? In the
readme.wince i have read that SDL will not support joystick on WinCE. Please
give me some suggestion how can i solve this problem

Thanks in advance

Hi,

What type of joystick do you mean?
If PC normal joystick - wince does not support it (Pocket PC,
smartphones can’t be connected with such devices).
If Pocket PC joystick - it is not a joystick in a common sense - it is a
several hardware buttons that send their key codes to a SDL main loop.

What type of interface? SDL has got several libraries for building user
interfaces, you could use it.

Hi

Actually we have a custom device for which we should have UP, DOWN, LEFT,
RIGHT, ENTER (i.e., RETURN) and SPACEBAR controls are required. So, i was
thinking to go for SDL joystick support as joystick has these controls. If
i am wrong please correct me.

Thanks in advance

The directional pad on a PocketPC device is exposed in SDL as keyboard
keys, even though it’s not really a full keyboard, and never as a joystick.

You can still get the same information, you just don’t use the
SDL_Joystick*() APIs.

Where is this SDL_WinCE.zip file? Can we remove it?
