## Filing a GitHub issue
### Reporting a bug
If you think you have found a bug and would like to report it, here are the steps you should take:
- Before opening a new issue, ensure your bug has not already been reported on the [GitHub Issues page](https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL/issues).
- On the issue tracker, click on [New Issue](https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL/issues/new).
- Include details about your environment, such as your Operating System and SDL version.
- If possible, provide a small example that reproduces your bug.
### Suggesting enhancements
If you want to suggest changes for the project, here are the steps you should take:
- Check if the suggestion has already been made on:
- the [issue tracker](https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL/issues);
- the [discourse forum](https://discourse.libsdl.org/);
- or if a [pull request](https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL/pulls) already exists.
- On the issue tracker, click on [New Issue](https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL/issues/new).
- Describe what change you would like to happen.
## Contributing code
This section will cover how the process of forking the project, making a change and opening a pull request.
### Forking the project
The first step consists in making a fork of the project, this is only necessary for the first contribution.
Head over to https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL and click on the `Fork` button in the top right corner of your screen, you may leave the fields unchanged and click `Create Fork`.
You will be redirected to your fork of the repository, click the green `Code` button and copy the git clone link.
If you had already forked the repository, you may update it from the web page using the `Fetch upstream` button.
### Following the style guide
Code formatting is done using a custom `.clang-format` file, you can learn more about how to run it [here](https://clang.llvm.org/docs/ClangFormat.html).
Some legacy code may not be formatted, as such avoid formatting the whole file at once and only format around your changes.
For your commit message to be properly displayed on GitHub, it should contain:
- A short description of the commit of 50 characters or less on the first line.
- If necessary, add a blank line followed by a long description, each line should be 72 characters or less.
For example:
```
Fix crash in SDL_FooBar.
This addresses the issue #123456 by making sure Foo was successful
before calling Bar.
```
### Running the tests
Tests allow you to verify if your changes did not break any behaviour, here are the steps to follow:
- Before pushing, run the `testautomation` suite on your machine, there should be no more failing tests after your change than before.
- After pushing to your fork, Continuous Integration (GitHub Actions) will ensure compilation and tests still pass on other systems.
### Opening a pull request
- Head over to your fork's GitHub page.
- Click on the `Contribute` button and `Open Pull Request`.
- Fill out the pull request template.
- If any changes are requested, you can add new commits to your fork and they will be automatically added to the pull request.
## Contributing to the documentation
### Editing a function documentation
The wiki documentation for API functions is synchronised from the headers' doxygen comments. As such, all modifications to syntax; function parameters; return value; version; related functions should be done in the header directly.
### Editing the wiki
Other changes to the wiki should done directly from https://wiki.libsdl.org/

# CMake
(www.cmake.org)
SDL's build system was traditionally based on autotools. Over time, this
approach has suffered from several issues across the different supported
platforms.
To solve these problems, a new build system based on CMake is under development.
It works in parallel to the legacy system, so users can experiment with it
without complication.
While still experimental, the build system should be usable on the following
platforms:
To solve these problems, a new build system based on CMake was introduced.
It is developed in parallel to the legacy autotools build system, so users
can experiment with it without complication.
The CMake build system is supported on the following platforms:
* FreeBSD
* Linux
* VS.NET 2010
* Microsoft Visual C
* MinGW and Msys
* macOS, iOS, and tvOS, with support for XCode
* Android
* Emscripten
* RiscOS
* Playstation Vita
## Building SDL
================================================================================
Usage
================================================================================
Assuming the source for SDL is located at ~/sdl
Assuming the source for SDL is located at `~/sdl`
```sh
cd ~
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ../sdl
cmake ~/sdl
cmake --build .
```
This will build the static and dynamic versions of SDL in the `~/build` directory.
Installation can be done using:
```sh
cmake --install . # '--install' requires CMake 3.15, or newer
```
## Including SDL in your project
SDL can be included in your project in 2 major ways:
- using a system SDL library, provided by your (*nix) distribution or a package manager
- using a vendored SDL library: this is SDL copied or symlinked in a subfolder.
The following CMake script supports both, depending on the value of `MYGAME_VENDORED`.
```cmake
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.0)
project(mygame)
# Create an option to switch between a system sdl library and a vendored sdl library
option(MYGAME_VENDORED "Use vendored libraries" OFF)
if(MYGAME_VENDORED)
add_subdirectory(vendored/sdl EXCLUDE_FROM_ALL)
else()
# 1. Look for a SDL2 package, 2. look for the SDL2 component and 3. fail if none can be found
find_package(SDL2 REQUIRED CONFIG REQUIRED COMPONENTS SDL2)
This will build the static and dynamic versions of SDL in the ~/build directory.
# 1. Look for a SDL2 package, 2. Look for the SDL2maincomponent and 3. DO NOT fail when SDL2main is not available
find_package(SDL2 REQUIRED CONFIG COMPONENTS SDL2main)
endif()
# Create your game executable target as usual
add_executable(mygame WIN32 mygame.c)
================================================================================
Usage, iOS/tvOS
================================================================================
# SDL2::SDL2main may or may not be available. It is e.g. required by Windows GUI applications
if(TARGET SDL2::SDL2main)
# It has an implicit dependency on SDL2 functions, so it MUST be added before SDL2::SDL2 (or SDL2::SDL2-static)
target_link_libraries(mygame PRIVATE SDL2::SDL2main)
endif()
# Link to the actual SDL2 library. SDL2::SDL2 is the shared SDL library, SDL2::SDL2-static is the static SDL libarary.
target_link_libraries(mygame PRIVATE SDL2::SDL2)
```
### A system SDL library
For CMake to find SDL, it must be installed in [a default location CMake is looking for](https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/command/find_package.html#config-mode-search-procedure).
The following components are available, to be used as an argument of `find_package`.
| Component name | Description |
|----------------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| SDL2 | The SDL2 shared library, available through the `SDL2::SDL2` target [^SDL_TARGET_EXCEPTION] |
| SDL2-static | The SDL2 static library, available through the `SDL2::SDL2-static` target |
| SDL2main | The SDL2main static library, available through the `SDL2::SDL2main` target |
| SDL2test | The SDL2test static library, available through the `SDL2::SDL2test` target |
### Using a vendored SDL
This only requires a copy of SDL in a subdirectory.

Emscripten
================================================================================
# Emscripten
(This documentation is not very robust; we will update and expand this later.)
## A quick note about audio
Modern web browsers will not permit web pages to produce sound before the
user has interacted with them; this is for several reasons, not the least
of which being that no one likes when a random browser tab suddenly starts
making noise and the user has to scramble to figure out which and silence
it.
To solve this, most browsers will refuse to let a web app use the audio
subsystem at all before the user has interacted with (clicked on) the page
in a meaningful way. SDL-based apps also have to deal with this problem; if
the user hasn't interacted with the page, SDL_OpenAudioDevice will fail.
There are two reasonable ways to deal with this: if you are writing some
sort of media player thing, where the user expects there to be a volume
control when you mouseover the canvas, just default that control to a muted
state; if the user clicks on the control to unmute it, on this first click,
open the audio device. This allows the media to play at start, the user can
reasonably opt-in to listening, and you never get access denied to the audio
device.
Many games do not have this sort of UI, and are more rigid about starting
audio along with everything else at the start of the process. For these, your
best bet is to write a little Javascript that puts up a "Click here to play!"
UI, and upon the user clicking, remove that UI and then call the Emscripten
app's main() function. As far as the application knows, the audio device was
available to be opened as soon as the program started, and since this magic
happens in a little Javascript, you don't have to change your C/C++ code at
all to make it happen.
Please see the discussion at https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL/issues/6385
for some Javascript code to steal for this approach.
## Building SDL/emscripten

GDK
=====
This port allows SDL applications to run via Microsoft's Game Development Kit (GDK).
Windows (GDK) and Xbox One/Xbox Series (GDKX) are supported. Although most of the Xbox code is included in the public SDL source code, NDA access is required for a small number of source files. If you have access to GDKX, these required Xbox files are posted on the GDK forums [here](https://forums.xboxlive.com/questions/130003/).
Requirements
------------
* Microsoft Visual Studio 2022 (in theory, it should also work in 2017 or 2019, but this has not been tested)
* Microsoft GDK June 2022 or newer (public release [here](https://github.com/microsoft/GDK/releases/tag/June_2022))
* To publish a package or successfully authenticate a user, you will need to create an app id/configure services in Partner Center. However, for local testing purposes (without authenticating on Xbox Live), the identifiers used by the GDK test programs in the included solution will work.
Windows GDK Status
------
The Windows GDK port supports the full set of Win32 APIs, renderers, controllers, input devices, etc., as the normal Windows x64 build of SDL.
* Additionally, the GDK port adds the following:
* Compile-time platform detection for SDL programs. The `__GDK__` is `#define`d on every GDK platform, and the `__WINGDK__` is `#define`d on Windows GDK, specifically. (This distinction exists because other GDK platforms support a smaller subset of functionality. This allows you to mark code for "any" GDK separate from Windows GDK.)
* GDK-specific setup:
* Initializing/uninitializing the game runtime, and initializing Xbox Live services
* Creating a global task queue and setting it as the default for the process. When running any async operations, passing in `NULL` as the task queue will make the task get added to the global task queue.
* An implementation on `WinMain` that performs the above GDK setup (you should link against SDL2main.lib, as in Windows x64). If you are unable to do this, you can instead manually call `SDL_GDKRunApp` from your entry point, passing in your `SDL_main` function and `NULL` as the parameters.
* Global task queue callbacks are dispatched during `SDL_PumpEvents` (which is also called internally if using `SDL_PollEvent`).
* You can get the handle of the global task queue through `SDL_GDKGetTaskQueue`, if needed. When done with the queue, be sure to use `XTaskQueueCloseHandle` to decrement the reference count (otherwise it will cause a resource leak).
* What doesn't work:
* Compilation with anything other than through the included Visual C++ solution file
## VisualC-GDK Solution
The included `VisualC-GDK/SDL.sln` solution includes the following targets for the Gaming.Desktop.x64 configuration:
* SDL2 (DLL) - This is the typical SDL2.dll, but for Gaming.Desktop.x64.
* SDL2main (lib) - This contains a drop-in implementation of `WinMain` that is used as the entry point for GDK programs.
* tests/testgamecontroller - Standard SDL test program demonstrating controller functionality.
* tests/testgdk - GDK-specific test program that demonstrates using the global task queue to login a user into Xbox Live.
*NOTE*: As of the June 2022 GDK, you cannot test user logins without a valid Title ID and MSAAppId. You will need to manually change the identifiers in the `MicrosoftGame.config` to your valid IDs from Partner Center if you wish to test this.
* tests/testsprite2 - Standard SDL test program demonstrating sprite drawing functionality.
If you set one of the test programs as a startup project, you can run it directly from Visual Studio.
Windows GDK Setup, Detailed Steps
---------------------
These steps assume you already have a game using SDL that runs on Windows x64 along with a corresponding Visual Studio solution file for the x64 version. If you don't have this, it's easiest to use one of the test program vcxproj files in the `VisualC-GDK` directory as a starting point, though you will still need to do most of the steps below.
### 1. Add a Gaming.Desktop.x64 Configuration ###
In your game's existing Visual Studio Solution, go to Build > Configuration Manager. From the "Active solution platform" drop-down select "New...". From the drop-down list, select Gaming.Desktop.x64 and copy the settings from the x64 configuration.
### 2. Build SDL2 and SDL2main for GDK ###
Open `VisualC-GDK/SDL.sln` in Visual Studio, you need to build the SDL2 and SDL2main targets for the Gaming.Desktop.x64 platform (Release is recommended). You will need to copy/keep track of the `SDL2.dll`, `XCurl.dll` (which is output by Gaming.Desktop.x64), `SDL2.lib`, and `SDL2main.lib` output files for your game project.
*Alternatively*, you could setup your solution file to instead reference the SDL2/SDL2main project file targets from the SDL source, and add those projects as a dependency. This would mean that SDL2 and SDL2main would both be built when your game is built.
### 3. Configuring Project Settings ###
While the Gaming.Desktop.x64 configuration sets most of the required settings, there are some additional items to configure for your game project under the Gaming.Desktop.x64 Configuration:
* Under C/C++ > General > Additional Include Directories, make sure the `SDL/include` path is referenced
* Under Linker > General > Additional Library Directories, make sure to reference the path where the newly-built SDL2.lib and SDL2main.lib are
* Under Linker > Input > Additional Dependencies, you need the following:
* `SDL2.lib`
* `SDL2main.lib` (unless not using)
* `xgameruntime.lib`
* `../Microsoft.Xbox.Services.141.GDK.C.Thunks.lib`
* Note that in general, the GDK libraries depend on the MSVC C/C++ runtime, so there is no way to remove this dependency from a GDK program that links against GDK.
### 4. Setting up SDL_main ###
Rather than using your own implementation of `WinMain`, it's recommended that you instead `#include "SDL_main.h"` and declare a standard main function. If you are unable to do this, you can instead manually call `SDL_GDKRunApp` from your entry point, passing in your `SDL_main` function and `NULL` as the parameters.
### 5. Required DLLs ###
The game will not launch in the debugger unless required DLLs are included in the directory that contains the game's .exe file. You need to make sure that the following files are copied into the directory:
* Your SDL2.dll
* "$(Console_GRDKExtLibRoot)Xbox.Services.API.C\DesignTime\CommonConfiguration\Neutral\Lib\Release\Microsoft.Xbox.Services.141.GDK.C.Thunks.dll"
* XCurl.dll
You can either copy these in a post-build step, or you can add the dlls into the project and set its Configuration Properties > General > Item type to "Copy file," which will also copy them into the output directory.
### 6. Setting up MicrosoftGame.config ###
You can copy `VisualC-GDK/tests/testgdk/MicrosoftGame.config` and use that as a starting point in your project. Minimally, you will want to change the Executable Name attribute, the DefaultDisplayName, and the Description.
This file must be copied into the same directory as the game's .exe file. As with the DLLs, you can either use a post-build step or the "Copy file" item type.
For basic testing, you do not need to change anything else in `MicrosoftGame.config`. However, if you want to test any Xbox Live services (such as logging in users) _or_ publish a package, you will need to setup a Game app on Partner Center.
Then, you need to set the following values to the values from Partner Center:
* Identity tag - Name and Publisher attributes
* TitleId
* MSAAppId
### 7. Adding Required Logos
Several logo PNG files are required to be able to launch the game, even from the debugger. You can use the sample logos provided in `VisualC-GDK/logos`. As with the other files, they must be copied into the same directory as the game's .exe file.
### 8. Copying any Data Files ###
When debugging GDK games, there is no way to specify a working directory. Therefore, any required game data must also be copied into the output directory, likely in a post-build step.
### 9. Build and Run from Visual Studio ###
At this point, you should be able to build and run your game from the Visual Studio Debugger. If you get any linker errors, make sure you double-check that you referenced all the required libs.
If you are testing Xbox Live functionality, it's likely you will need to change to the Sandbox for your title. To do this:
1. Run "Desktop VS 2022 Gaming Command Prompt" from the Start Menu
2. Switch the sandbox name with:
`XblPCSandbox SANDBOX.#`
3. (To switch back to the retail sandbox):
`XblPCSandbox RETAIL`
### 10. Packaging and Installing Locally
You can use one of the test program's `PackageLayout.xml` as a starting point. Minimally, you will need to change the exe to the correct name and also reference any required game data. As with the other data files, it's easiest if you have this copy to the output directory, although it's not a requirement as you can specify relative paths to files.
To create the package:
1. Run "Desktop VS 2022 Gaming Command Prompt" from the Start Menu
2. `cd` to the directory containing the `PackageLayout.xml` with the correct paths (if you use the local path as in the sample package layout, this would be from your .exe output directory)
3. `mkdir Package` to create an output directory
4. To package the file into the `Package` directory, use:
`makepkg pack /f PackageLayout.xml /lt /d . /nogameos /pc /pd Package`
5. To install the package, use:
`wdapp install PACKAGENAME.msixvc`
6. Once the package is installed, you can run it from the start menu.
7. As with when running from Visual Studio, if you need to test any Xbox Live functionality you must switch to the correct sandbox.
Troubleshooting
---------------
#### Xbox Live Login does not work
As of June 2022 GDK, you must have a valid Title Id and MSAAppId in order to test Xbox Live functionality such as user login. Make sure these are set correctly in the `MicrosoftGame.config`. This means that even testgdk will not let you login without setting these properties to valid values.
Furthermore, confirm that your PC is set to the correct sandbox.
#### "The current user has already installed an unpackaged version of this app. A packaged version cannot replace this." error when installing
Prior to June 2022 GDK, running from the Visual Studio debugger would still locally register the app (and it would appear on the start menu). To fix this, you have to uninstall it (it's simplest to right click on it from the start menu to uninstall it).

Instructions:
1. Open SDL.xcodeproj (located in Xcode-iOS/SDL) in Xcode.
1. Open SDL.xcodeproj (located in Xcode/SDL) in Xcode.
2. Select your desired target, and hit build.
There are three build targets:
- libSDL.a:
Build SDL as a statically linked library
- testsdl:
Build a test program (there are known test failures which are fine)
- Template:
Package a project template together with the SDL for iPhone static libraries and copies of the SDL headers. The template includes proper references to the SDL library and headers, skeleton code for a basic SDL program, and placeholder graphics for the application icon and startup screen.
==============================================================================
Build SDL for iOS from the command line
==============================================================================
1. cd (PATH WHERE THE SDL CODE IS)/build-scripts
2. ./iosbuild.sh
If everything goes fine, you should see a build/ios directory, inside there's
two directories "lib" and "include".
"include" contains a copy of the SDL headers that you'll need for your project,
make sure to configure XCode to look for headers there.
"lib" contains find two files, libSDL2.a and libSDL2main.a, you have to add both
to your XCode project. These libraries contain three architectures in them,
armv6 for legacy devices, armv7, and i386 (for the simulator).
By default, iosbuild.sh will autodetect the SDK version you have installed using
xcodebuild -showsdks, and build for iOS >= 3.0, you can override this behaviour
by setting the MIN_OS_VERSION variable, ie:
MIN_OS_VERSION=4.2 ./iosbuild.sh
==============================================================================
Using the Simple DirectMedia Layer for iOS
==============================================================================
FIXME: This needs to be updated for the latest methods
1. Run Xcode and create a new project using the iOS Game template, selecting the Objective C language and Metal game technology.
2. In the main view, delete all files except for Assets and LaunchScreen
3. Right click the project in the main view, select "Add Files...", and add the SDL project, Xcode/SDL/SDL.xcodeproj
4. Select the project in the main view, go to the "Info" tab and under "Custom iOS Target Properties" remove the line "Main storyboard file base name"
5. Select the project in the main view, go to the "Build Settings" tab, select "All", and edit "Header Search Path" and drag over the SDL "Public Headers" folder from the left
6. Select the project in the main view, go to the "Build Phases" tab, select "Link Binary With Libraries", and add SDL2.framework from "Framework-iOS"
7. Select the project in the main view, go to the "General" tab, scroll down to "Frameworks, Libraries, and Embedded Content", and select "Embed & Sign" for the SDL library.
8. In the main view, expand SDL -> Library Source -> main -> uikit and drag SDL_uikit_main.c into your game files
9. Add the source files that you would normally have for an SDL program, making sure to have #include "SDL.h" at the top of the file containing your main() function.
10. Add any assets that your application needs.
11. Enjoy!
Here is the easiest method:
1. Build the SDL library (libSDL2.a) and the iPhone SDL Application template.
2. Install the iPhone SDL Application template by copying it to one of Xcode's template directories. I recommend creating a directory called "SDL" in "/Developer/Platforms/iOS.platform/Developer/Library/Xcode/Project Templates/" and placing it there.
3. Start a new project using the template. The project should be immediately ready for use with SDL.
Here is a more manual method:
1. Create a new iOS view based application.
2. Build the SDL static library (libSDL2.a) for iOS and include them in your project. Xcode will ignore the library that is not currently of the correct architecture, hence your app will work both on iOS and in the iOS Simulator.
3. Include the SDL header files in your project.
4. Remove the ApplicationDelegate.h and ApplicationDelegate.m files -- SDL for iOS provides its own UIApplicationDelegate. Remove MainWindow.xib -- SDL for iOS produces its user interface programmatically.
5. Delete the contents of main.m and program your app as a regular SDL program instead. You may replace main.m with your own main.c, but you must tell Xcode not to use the project prefix file, as it includes Objective-C code.

Notes -- xcFramework
==============================================================================
The SDL.xcodeproj file now includes a target to build SDL2.xcframework. An xcframework is a new (Xcode 11) uber-framework which can handle any combination of processor type and target OS platform.
In the past, iOS devices were always an ARM variant processor, and the simulator was always i386 or x86_64, and thus libraries could be combined into a single framework for both simulator and device. With the introduction of the Apple Silicon ARM-based machines, regular frameworks would collide as CPU type was no longer sufficient to differentiate the platform. So Apple created the new xcframework library package.
The xcframework target builds into a Products directory alongside the SDL.xcodeproj file, as SDL2.xcframework. This can be brought in to any iOS project and will function properly for both simulator and device, no matter their CPUs. Note that Intel Macs cannot cross-compile for Apple Silicon Macs. If you need AS compatibility, perform this build on an Apple Silicon Mac.
This target requires Xcode 11 or later. The target will simply fail to build if attempted on older Xcodes.
In addition, on Apple platforms, main() cannot be in a dynamically loaded library. This means that iOS apps which used the statically-linked libSDL2.lib and now link with the xcframwork will need to define their own main() to call SDL_UIKitRunApp(), like this:
#ifndef SDL_MAIN_HANDLED
#ifdef main
#undef main
#endif
int
main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
return SDL_UIKitRunApp(argc, argv, SDL_main);
}
#endif /* !SDL_MAIN_HANDLED */
Using an xcFramework is similar to using a regular framework. However, issues have been seen with the build system not seeing the headers in the xcFramework. To remedy this, add the path to the xcFramework in your app's target ==> Build Settings ==> Framework Search Paths and mark it recursive (this is critical). Also critical is to remove "*.framework" from Build Settings ==> Sub-Directories to Exclude in Recursive Searches. Clean the build folder, and on your next build the build system should be able to see any of these in your code, as expected:
#include "SDL_main.h"
#include <SDL.h>
#include <SDL_main.h>

To build SDL using the command line, use the standard configure and make
process:
./configure
```bash

You can also build SDL as a Universal library (a single binary for both
32-bit and 64-bit Intel architectures), on Mac OS X 10.7 and newer, by using
the gcc-fat.sh script in build-scripts:
64-bit Intel and ARM architectures), by using the build-scripts/clang-fat.sh
script.

(even if you target back to 10.5 systems). PowerPC support for Mac OS X has
been officially dropped as of SDL 2.0.2.
Please note that building SDL requires at least Xcode 6 and the 10.9 SDK.
PowerPC support for macOS has been officially dropped as of SDL 2.0.2.

of SDL 2.24.0.
To use the library once it's built, you essential have two possibilities:
use the traditional autoconf/automake/make method, or use Xcode.

# Using the Simple DirectMedia Layer with Xcode
These instructions are for using Apple's Xcode IDE to build SDL applications.
- First steps
## First steps
The first thing to do is to unpack the Xcode.tar.gz archive in the
top level SDL directory (where the Xcode.tar.gz archive resides).
Because Stuffit Expander will unpack the archive into a subdirectory,
you should unpack the archive manually from the command line:
```bash
cd [path_to_SDL_source]
tar zxf Xcode.tar.gz
```
This will create a new folder called Xcode, which you can browse
normally from the Finder.

# Implementation Notes
- Implementation Notes
Some things that may be of interest about how it all works...
* Working directory
As defined in the SDL_main.m file, the working directory of your SDL app
is by default set to its parent. You may wish to change this to better
suit your needs.
* You have a Cocoa App!
## Working directory
In SDL 1.2, the working directory of your SDL app is by default set to its
parent, but this is no longer the case in SDL 2.0. SDL2 does change the
working directory, which means it'll be whatever the command line prompt
that launched the program was using, or if launched by double-clicking in
the finger, it will be "/", the _root of the filesystem_. Plan accordingly!
You can use SDL_GetBasePath() to find where the program is running from and
chdir() there directly.
## You have a Cocoa App!
Your SDL app is essentially a Cocoa application. When your app
starts up and the libraries finish loading, a Cocoa procedure is called,
which sets up the working directory and calls your main() method.

Credits to:
- The awesome people who ported SDL to other homebrew platforms.
- The Devkitpro team for making all the tools necessary to achieve this.
## Building
To build for the Nintendo 3DS, make sure you have devkitARM and cmake installed and run:
```bash
cmake -S. -Bbuild -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE="$DEVKITPRO/cmake/3DS.cmake" -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
cmake --build build
cmake --install build
```
## Notes
- Currently only software rendering is supported.
- SDL2main should be used to ensure ROMFS is enabled.
- By default, the extra L2 cache and higher clock speeds of the New 2/3DS lineup are enabled. If you wish to turn it off, use `osSetSpeedupEnable(false)` in your main function.
- `SDL_GetBasePath` returns the romfs root instead of the executable's directory.
Nokia N-Gage
============
SDL2 port for Symbian S60v1 and v2 with a main focus on the Nokia N-Gage
(Classic and QD) by [Michael Fitzmayer](https://github.com/mupfdev).
Compiling
---------
SDL is part of the [N-Gage SDK.](https://github.com/ngagesdk) project.
The library is included in the
[toolchain](https://github.com/ngagesdk/ngage-toolchain) as a
sub-module.
A complete example project based on SDL2 can be found in the GitHub
account of the SDK: [Wordle](https://github.com/ngagesdk/wordle).
Current level of implementation
-------------------------------
The video driver currently provides full screen video support with
keyboard input.
At the moment only the software renderer works.
Audio is not yet implemented.
Acknowledgements
----------------
Thanks to Hannu Viitala, Kimmo Kinnunen and Markus Mertama for the
valuable insight into Symbian programming. Without the SDL 1.2 port
which was specially developed for CDoom (Doom for the Nokia 9210), this
adaptation would not have been possible.
I would like to thank my friends
[Razvan](https://twitter.com/bewarerazvan) and [Dan
Whelan](https://danwhelan.ie/), for their continuous support. Without
you and the [N-Gage community](https://discord.gg/dbUzqJ26vs), I would
have lost my patience long ago.
Last but not least, I would like to thank the development team of
[EKA2L1](https://12z1.com/) (an experimental Symbian OS emulator). Your
patience and support in troubleshooting helped me a lot.

Values: 0 or 1, default is 0
Initializes the device as shareable or exclusively acquired.
SDL_VIDEODRIVER
Values: DIVE or VMAN, default is DIVE
Use video subsystem: Direct interface video extensions (DIVE) or
Video Manager (VMAN).
You may significantly increase video output speed with OS4 kernel and patched
files vman.dll and dive.dll or with latest versions of ACPI support and video
driver Panorama.
Latest versions of OS/4 kernel:

Patched files vman.dll and dive.dll:
http://gus.biysk.ru/os4/test/pached_dll/PATCHED_DLL.RAR
Compiling:
----------
Open Watcom 1.9 or newer is tested. For the new Open Watcom V2 fork, see:
https://github.com/open-watcom/ and https://open-watcom.github.io
WATCOM environment variable must to be set to the Open Watcom install
directory. To compile, run: wmake -f Makefile.os2
Installing:
-----------
- eComStation:
If you have previously installed SDL2, make a Backup copy of SDL2.dll
located in D:\ecs\dll (where D: is disk on which installed eComStation).
Stop all programs running with SDL2. Copy SDL2.dll to D:\ecs\dll
- OS/2:
Copy SDL2.dll to any directory on your LIBPATH. If you have a previous
version installed, close all SDL2 applications before replacing the old
copy. Also make sure that any other older versions of DLLs are removed
from your system.
Joysticks in SDL2:
------------------
The joystick code in SDL2 is a direct forward-port from the SDL-1.2 version.
Here is the original documentation from SDL-1.2:
The Joystick detection only works for standard joysticks (2 buttons, 2 axes
and the like). Therefore, if you use a non-standard joystick, you should
specify its features in the SDL_OS2_JOYSTICK environment variable in a batch
file or CONFIG.SYS, so SDL applications can provide full capability to your
device. The syntax is:
SET SDL_OS2_JOYSTICK=[JOYSTICK_NAME] [AXES] [BUTTONS] [HATS] [BALLS]
So, it you have a Gravis GamePad with 4 axes, 2 buttons, 2 hats and 0 balls,
the line should be:
SET SDL_OS2_JOYSTICK=Gravis_GamePad 4 2 2 0
If you want to add spaces in your joystick name, just surround it with
quotes or double-quotes:
SET SDL_OS2_JOYSTICK='Gravis GamePad' 4 2 2 0
or
SET SDL_OS2_JOYSTICK="Gravis GamePad" 4 2 2 0
Note however that Balls and Hats are not supported under OS/2, and the
value will be ignored... but it is wise to define these correctly because
in the future those can be supported.
Also the number of buttons is limited to 2 when using two joysticks,
4 when using one joystick with 4 axes, 6 when using a joystick with 3 axes
and 8 when using a joystick with 2 axes. Notice however these are limitations
of the Joystick Port hardware, not OS/2.
