I've created a patch allowing the latest version of SDL
and SMPEG to be used with Microwindows, taking
advantage of direct client-side framenbuffer access and
multi-threaded applications, such as the SMPEG digital
video viewer. The patch to SDL v1.2.4 is available at:
ftp://microwindows.org/pub/microwindows/sdl-1.2.4-nanox-0.9.patch
This version has been tested with the latest SMPEG 0.4.4.
I've added multi-threading support for all the Nano-X
Gr*() functions, turned on with a config option THREADSAFE=Y.
These modifications, along with many others, are in the
Microwindows 0.89pre9 CVS tree.
I've tested the critical section locking using my dual-processor
machine, and everything seems to be working fine. A new
file, src/include/lock.h, has been created allowing macros
to be defined to initialize, lock, and unlock a mutex for
any operating system. The current implementation uses
pthreads on Linux.
Have fun!
Regards,
Greg
