>You can't change buffers


MiniGL/buffer.c/buf_SetFrontBuffer(GLcontext context, void *bitmap, GLboolean free);

Seems to set frontbuffer to a given bitmap
Then the(RGB or RGBA) bitmap can be used to update a texture...

bmHandle=LockBitMapTags(bm,LBMI_BASEADDRESS,(ULONG)&pixels, TAG_DONE);

glTexImage2D(GL_TEXTURE_2D, 0, 3, w, h, 0,GL_RGB,GL_UNSIGNED_BYTE, pixels);

UnLockBitMap(bmHandle);


Untested.... huhh..

@thellier
That's basically a non-portable way of achieving the same thing.

@Capehill
Cant test rc2 right now, but is iconification support added in ? (from commit logs seems so, just want to be sure)

I am surprized that no one has ported the SDL version of Fast Tracker II yet, get busy!

Thank you for your work for this

I don't own any amigaos4 machine anymore.

Did you hear that awful sound?

That was my heart breaking...

I've been gone since 2011 or so... ;)

Before then, you were a porting machine, just look at all your stuff on os4depot. Quite impressive.

What would get you to come back?

Now, let's get back on topic. SDL2...

Hans

2.0.8 RC2 became 2.0.8 release and it has been now uploaded to OS4Depot queue.

@Capehill
Is it possible to ask you to add iconification support from sdl2 , to sdl1 as well ?

@Capehill

Question : is it of any use for a simple user or is it dedicated to programmers only ?

@kas1e

Please create a ticket, it will be forgotten otherwise.

@K-L

It's a combined user + dev archive.

Thanks, done: https://github.com/AmigaPorts/SDL/issues/28

Probably after that one done we can make proper new SDL1 release ? Old one which on os4depot are really very far away in compare with what we have now in repo.

ps. Btw, is it worth to create another BZ about creating for SDL1 release the same 2 versions of library libSDL.a and libSDL-debug.a ? That pretty good how you do it for SDL2.

@kas1e

Why not. Debug build is extremely useful to have.
