SDL 2 for IRIX

SDL 2 for IRIX
I am pleased to announce that thanks to user Axatax here, we have a mostly-working SDL2 for MIPSPro on IRIX, with some SGI-specific changes. 

The repository is here: http://gitea.irixce.org/Nekoware-II/SDL-2

Archive of it is here:

.gz SDL2-2.0.9-irix.tar.gz Size: 8.62 MB  Downloads: 348


Please note the following:

I have three open issues per his instructions, because there's a few edge cases that are still broken. Review the issue titles for info. 

This was built against Nekoware, but we will ensure it builds fine on Nekoware II.

In particular, Axatax fixed the Dmedia audio API, threading for IRIX, and fixing the build system.

We will be adding more stuff to Gitea. if you are inclined to help out, please sign up! I don't even mind if you use it for personal projects, that's what it's for.

RE: SDL 2 for IRIX
When I last worked on this, 2.0.9 was the latest version, so it'll be updated for 2.0.12 and those ends will be tied up for Neko2.

RE: SDL 2 for IRIX
Thank you Axatax, good that we have SDL2 in a working state. I was mainly focusing on SDL-1.2.15 since it is a dependency for some older packages.

Yeah, I'm gonna try and port some emulators that require it.

Don't use that patch. It's all kinds of soup sandwich. I sent a new archive to Raion, this one should compile.

Updated. Looks like you updated SDL_spinlock?

RE: SDL 2 for IRIX
Is the current build in a fully-compiling state? I'm running into issues with configure - it keeps telling me that it needs GLEW for the build. GLEW compiled fine and set up what look like appropriate symlinks. There's a note in the configure script about still needing to fix a symlink issue with GLEW, but I'm not sure quite what that entails.

Thanks!

RE: SDL 2 for IRIX
SDL 2.x isn't ready, no. Axatax hasn't gotten back to me on getting it fixed, he has the GLEW path hard coded somewhere in configure I think. I've been too slammed to take a look and try to fix it. I also want to up it to the same parity level as SGUG's, but that's gonna take a while for me to manage.

RE: SDL 2 for IRIX
Thanks for the update! I'll poke around and see if I can figure out what path it's looking for and go from there.
