I have wrapped the functions for SDL 2.24.0
The version scheme has changed, minor releases now come after the major release so instead of it being 2.0.24, it is now 2.24.0 That is from the SDL docs.
You can find it here: https://github.com/gAndy50/EuSDL2

Hi Andy,
Just been playing with the latest release, and adjusted it for Phix, here's my notes
SDL 2.24.0 notes put --/* --*/ around eu std incudes - Phix doesn't need them eg --/* include std/machine.e --*/ RenderWinn demo line 64 - function must return a value - added object VOID --mod CMB VOID = SDL_SetRenderDrawColor(ren,0,0,0,0) WinImage.exw added object VOID line 70 --mod cmb VOID = SDL_UpdateWindowSurface(win) line 68 if peek(key+SDL_SCANCODE_ESCAPE) > 0 then mod to if (peek(key+SDL_SCANCODE_ESCAPE) > 0) then outer parentheses missing - doesn't regiter the escape key otherwise ColorWinDemo.exw Added VOIDS to these functions if (peek(key+SDL_SCANCODE_W) > 0) then VOID = SDL_SetRenderDrawColor(ren,255,0,0,0) --red VOID = SDL_RenderFillRect(ren,rect) elsif (peek(key+SDL_SCANCODE_S) > 0) then VOID = SDL_SetRenderDrawColor(ren,0,255,0,0) --green VOID = SDL_RenderFillRect(ren,rect) elsif (peek(key+SDL_SCANCODE_A) > 0) then VOID = SDL_SetRenderDrawColor(ren,0,0,255,0) --blue VOID = SDL_RenderFillRect(ren,rect) elsif (peek(key+SDL_SCANCODE_D) > 0) then VOID = SDL_SetRenderDrawColor(ren,0,0,0,255) --alpha or back to blank VOID = SDL_RenderFillRect(ren,rect) end if
I couldn't get GPUEx.exw, as it wouldn't load SDL2_gpu.dll, I have copies in system, sysWOW64, System 32, alongside the other SDL2 dlls. I couldn't get it to work with eu 4.10 either - is it working for you?
Cheers
Chris

I haven't worked on SDL_gpu in awhile. I'd have to look at it again. I only updated EuSDL for SDL 2.24.0. Maybe there's something that breaks compatbility with SDL_GPU? I'm not sure. I'll look more into it later. Also, I primarily use Euphoria, not Phix. Sometimes I've had issues with Euphoria not loading DLLs, maybe its a bug or the naming could be wrong. I wonder if it is possibly a memory or buffer overflow bug?

Hi
Yeah, It's odd, because the dll just isn't loaded at all - there's something different about it. I'm fairly sure it's not the path, because it's sprinkled about in all the usual places.

A few troubleshooting pointers:
- Put any libraries you want to use with your Euphoria projects in either the Euphoria bin directory (next to eui.exe) or the local directory where you'll be working from.
- After placing the libraries where you want, use Dependencies to verify that they are loading correctly.
- A lot of libraries built with MinGW require additional support libraries like libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll or libwinpthread-1.dll. You'll have these available if you have TDM-GCC installed and in your PATH.
- Mind your architecture! 64-bit Euphoria can't load 32-bit libraries and vice-versa. I recommend using 64-bit Euphoria if you're on a 64-bit system (which nowadays you should be).
