This change may end up being a bit slower on some systems, as the SDL backend will now render its content to two, new, SDL_Surfaces: one of which is in the guest OS' resolution, the other of which is application defined.
SDL2's SDL_Render API is used, which exposes some rudimentary elements of GPU + texture-based programming. Basilisk II now maintains a single 'SDL_Texture' object, which is an SDL representation of a GPU texture. The 'outer' surface will be used to update this texture, as requests to redraw are made.
TODO: look into removing the 'outer' SDL surface, and see if we can just copy the 'inner' surface to the SDL_Texture.
TODO: the entire SDL_Texture is updated, any time a request is made to draw. Look into minimizing this a bit.
Here is a patch to allow compiling of SS and B2 with an SDL Framework. You can
get this by downloading from:
http://www.libsdl.org/release/SDL-1.2.13.dmg
Here is how I tested on an intel 32-bit mac with Mac OS X 10.5.6:
SS ./autogen.sh --disable-standalone-gui --enable-vosf --enable-sdl-framework --enable-sdl-framework-prefix=/Users/mzs/Library/Frameworks --enable-sdl-video --disable-sdl-audio --enable-addressing=real
--without-esd --without-gtk --without-mon --without-x
SS /autogen.sh --disable-standalone-gui --enable-vosf --disable-sdl-framework --disable-sdl-video --disable-sdl-audio --enable-addressing=real --without-esd --without-gtk --without-mon --with-x
B2 ./autogen.sh --disable-standalone-gui --enable-vosf --enable-sdl-framework --enable-sdl-framework-prefix=/Users/mzs/Library/Frameworks --enable-sdl-video --enable-sdl-audio --enable-addressing=real --without-esd --without-gtk --without-mon --without-x --enable-jit-compiler
B2 ./autogen.sh --disable-standalone-gui --enable-vosf --disable-sdl-framework --disable-sdl-video --disable-sdl-audio --enable-addressing=real --with-esd --without-gtk --without-mon --with-x --enable-jit-compiler
(esound does not really work on mac, it needs some better coreaudio patches.)
configure.ac for SS has two little additional fixes so that the Cocoa prefs gui
does not get built if you are building for X11 and so that you can use esd, sdl,
or coreaudio for sound.
