Using the Simple DirectMedia Layer on Atari
==============================================================================
==============================================================================
I. Building the Simple DirectMedia Layer libraries:
(This step isn't necessary if you have the SDL binary distribution)
Do the classic configure, with --disable-shared --enable-static and:
Tos version (should run everywhere):
--disable-audio --disable-threads
Tos does not support threads, so can not support audio, maybe in a future
version audio support will be added via interrupts.
MiNT version (maybe Magic, only for multitasking OS):
--disable-pthreads --enable-pth
Mint and Magic may supports threads, so audio can be used with current
devices, like Sun audio, or disk-writing support. Like Tos, interrupt
audio without threads is more suited for Atari machines.
Then you can make ; make install it.
==============================================================================
II. Building the Simple DirectMedia Layer test programs:
Do the classic configure, then make.
Run them !
==============================================================================
III. Enjoy! :)
If you have a project you'd like me to know about, or want to ask questions,
go ahead and join the SDL developer's mailing list by sending e-mail to:
sdl-request@libsdl.org
and put "subscribe" into the subject of the message. Or alternatively you
can use the web interface:

==============================================================================
IV. What is supported:
Keyboard (GEMDOS, BIOS, Ikbd)
Mouse (XBIOS, GEM, Ikbd)
Video (XBIOS (Fullscreen), GEM (Windowed and Fullscreen))
Timer (VBL vector)
- What is missing:
Audio support (TOS)
CDROM support (Metados, /dev/cdrom)
Joystick and joypad support (Hardware)
Threads support (TOS)
- Driver combinations:
Video Kbd Mouse Timer
xbios ikbd ikbd vbl
xbios gemdos xbios vbl
xbios bios xbios vbl
gem gem gem vbl
==============================================================================
V. Environment variables:
SDL_ATARI_EVENTSDRIVER
Set to 'ikbd' to force IKBD 6301 keyboard driver
Set to 'gemdos' to force gemdos keyboard driver
Set to 'bios' to force bios keyboard driver
SDL_VIDEODRIVER:
Set to 'xbios' to force xbios video driver
Set to 'gem' to force gem video driver
