SDL on Sony Playstation3 ------------------------ Installation: First, you have to install the Cell SDK - Download the Cell SDK installer RPM and ISO images to a temporary directory such as /tmp/cellsdk. - Mount the image: mount -o loop CellSDK-Devel-Fedora_3.1.0.0.0.iso /tmp/cellsdk - Install the SDK installer: rpm -ivh cell-install-3.1.0-0.0.noarch.rpm - Install the SDK: cd /opt/cell && ./cellsdk --iso /tmp/cellsdkiso install You'll than need to install the SPU-libs - Run make ps3-libs && make ps3libs-install Finally, install SDL - Go to SDL-1.2/ and build SDL like any other GNU style package. e.g. - Build the configure-script with ./autogen.sh - Configure SDL for your needs: ./configure --enable-video-ps3 ... - Build and install it: make && make install Todo: - Mouse & Keyboard support - On SPU-side the current scaler and converter restrictions are: - resolution has to be a multiple of 8 (will work on that) - scaler/converter only supports the YV12 and IYUV format - the scaler works only bilinear (lanzos would be nice) - Optimize the SPU-program handling on the PPE side - Integrate spumedia in SDL Have fun!
