[Adonthell-devel] inputtest works, but ... (was Re: More insight ...)

[Kai Sterker]

Finally, I have at lest the C++ inputtest thing working. However, there 
is a large drawback. To get SDL apps running natively on OS X (Cocoa), 
it needs to prepare some things. This is done by exchanging the 
program's main function with some ObjectiveC code. That happens 
automatically, when you include SDL.h in the main file. So I had to 
include SDL.h in inputtest.cc. Well, that's not what we want!

Further, you'll have to link the application against SDLmain, as that 
lib contains the replacement code. Again, that is not what we want.

So I will see whether something can be done about this. One possible 
place where  a call to that OS X specific intialization could go might 
be gfx_init(). That way, everything should be ready when initializing 
the SDL Video Subsystem. However, I am not sure whether it can be done 
that easily. Otherwise, why has nobody integrated this code into SDL 
itself already? I'll see ...

P.S. still no luck with the python script :(.
