Title: Storm C 3.0 and SDL library
Post by: on January 27, 2003, 09:06:31 PM

Hello,
I get SDL library 1.2.5 package and I tryed to install
for Storm C 3.0++.
I tryed to compile examples but I get:

Error: illegal use of bitfield
 .../SDL_video.h,Linea 169: Uint32 video_mem;
Error: illegal use of bitfield
 .../SDL_video.h,Linea 200: Uint32 hw_overlay :1;
Error: illegal use of bitfield
 .../SDL_video.h,Linea 201: Uint32 UnusedBits :31;

Maybe I have make a bad installation.
Anyone has installed SDL on Storm C 3.0?

Please help me.

I have and it didn't pass the 10 minute patience test before I threw
it binwards.

I got it working OK with vbcc but that was a year and a half ago.

well the 'Amiga' SDL package is a botched product

it doesn't work well with any compiler that I own
it isn't fast (no matter what CPU you have)
it doesn't work with P96 (which means it won't work with OS4)
the OpenGL support is a failure (they should have gone with minigl)

I would suggest you go with the WarpSDL package instead
it's faster, leaner and in every way better.
(I hope the SDK is released soon)
