Requirements:
SDL_iconv
and related functions.Currently, SDL2 for RISC OS only supports compiling with GCCSDK under Linux. Both the autoconf and CMake build systems are supported.
The following commands can be used to build SDL2 for RISC OS using autoconf:
./configure --host=arm-unknown-riscos --prefix=$GCCSDK_INSTALL_ENV --disable-gcc-atomics make make install
The following commands can be used to build SDL2 for RISC OS using CMake:
cmake -Bbuild-riscos -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=$GCCSDK_INSTALL_ENV/toolchain-riscos.cmake -DRISCOS=ON -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$GCCSDK_INSTALL_ENV -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DSDL_GCC_ATOMICS=OFF cmake --build build-riscos cmake --build build-riscos --target install
The video driver currently provides full screen video support with keyboard and mouse input. Windowed mode is not yet supported, but is planned in the future. Only software rendering is supported.
The filesystem APIs return either Unix-style paths or RISC OS-style paths based on the value of the __riscosify_control
symbol, as is standard for UnixLib functions.
The audio, loadso, thread and timer APIs are currently provided by UnixLib.
GCC atomics are currently broken on some platforms, meaning it's currently necessary to compile with --disable-gcc-atomics
using autotools or -DSDL_GCC_ATOMICS=OFF
using CMake.
The joystick, locale and power APIs are not yet implemented.
