Hi…
I was searching for an SDL update for QNX, but they do not have SDL for
QNX any longer. How could I get a hold of the older version (.7) of the
SDL libraries? Thanks.
Regards…
Miguel.

I think the latest version is at QOR thanks to lmike.

Last my update for SDL code (1.2.8-development branch) was Aug 21, then I
have dropped SDL development for a while due to 6.3 beta license has been
expired. Few weeks ago I got a package from QSS with 6.3 release (thanks to
QSS ! 
) but I’ve no TDK licenses, so OpenGL part of SDL will be frozen
(but it is ready to use with the new 6.3 OpenGL framework, all code in the
CVS already). Recently added code (but not yet commited) for the midi
support for the SDL_mixer also will be frozen due to lack of the TDK
licenses. SDL 1.2.8 and all SDL_* sattellites will be available soon at QOR,
but without OpenGL and midi support.
Right now I’m busy with the ‘right’ porting a big bundle of the fresh
GNU/BSD packages to the 6.3. We are planning to do the QOR OpenCD (instead
of dead PublicCD)

Grab the source and compile? AFAIK the QNX port hasn’t been removed
from the base SDL code…

Heh ! It will not be removed ! QNX Photon/Audio/CD-ROM code by size and
complexity standing near Linux/X11 code.

Hi Chris…
Yes, I did grap the source, and all is well. Good work porting SDL 1.2.8
(Good work Patrick Trainor, Jim Boucher, and Mike Gorchak!).
(Of course, I do not have openGL support, I would have to buy the TDK if
I can afford it, does any one know how much is the openGL TDK? I
contacted my sales rep, but I did not hear an answer yet).
The only thing is that I could not detect the joystick. Any ideas on how
to tell QNX that there is a joystick in the system? And I suppose that
if QNX knows about the joystick, then SDL will do so as well? Thanks.
Regards…
Miguel.

Hi Mike…
Good job porting SDL! It compiled with no hiccups. Most excellent work.
Now, how do I detect the joystick? Any ideas? Thanks.
(I do not hear sound, but that is related to QNX I believe, and I will
ask a question in another post in another place.)
Thanks for your work and help…
Regards…
Miguel.

Joysticks are not supported by QNX. Nor connected via midi, nor USB. So if
somone will write a joystick driver for QNX with a bit unified architecture,
I will add code to SDL.
P.S. I do not have any joystick even to try to write the driver Last my
joystick was on ZX Spectrum

Hi Mike…
Ok, I see. I think that John Nagle has a joystick driver. Just
wondering, how fast could you import a joystick driver into the SDL
distribution? Days, weeks, or months? Thanks.

Miguel.

Hi Mike…
I have another question. In the third party software, I saw that you
have a SDL_GUI and other similar things. Are those compatible with the
1.2.8 distribution, or are these SDL_* offerings something different?
Thanks.
Regards…
Miguel.

Depends on API of that Joystick Driver, but I think that it will be “Days”

All other SDL_* sattelites was builded by Dave Rempel, and yes - they are
provide additional functionality over SDL, but they are using SDL as
backend.

Wow, you actually had a ZX Spectrum! I used to drool over the ads showing
the wonderful micro-tape storage device, which sounded so much better
than using my casette deck with my ZX-81.
Oh for the good old days of writing machine code embedded in
BASIC REM statements…

I remember being very excited when I upgraded my ZX81 to the spectrum.
When I plugged it in, it didn’t work! I had to wait two weeks for a
replacement unit… it almost killed me! I never had the micro-tape
storage, or the joystick 
I did have the 48K expansion RAM pack
though
