WineHQ

SDL Software Development Kit

There is no official "SDL SDK" but you can build one by following the instructions here:

http://www.spacejack.org/games/mingw/mingw-sdl.html

Steps:

1) Install the mingw cross-compiler environment for building windows applications for testing on wine: http://www.winehq.org/site/docs/winedev-guide/cross-compiling-tests

2) Download SDL-devel-1.2.11-mingw32.tar.gz (Mingw32) from http://www.libsdl.org/download-1.2.php , extract them to a folder and install (copy) the headers and libs to your mingw headers and libs locations.

3) run ./configure && make from within the SDL-1.2.11/test directory. This will produce native linux binaries and a Makefile.

4) As an exercise, edit the Makefile so that it will build using your cross-compiler instead of the native linux binaries you want to make windows .exe files! Save it as Make32. Modify it something like this:

 

... (several lines unmodified) ...

CC = i386-mingw32-gcc
EXE = .exe
CFLAGS = -mwindows
LIBS = -lmingw32 -lSDLmain -lSDL

... (several lines unmodified) ...

testgl$(EXE): $(srcdir)/testgl.c
$(CC) -o $@ $? $(CFLAGS) $(LIBS) -lm -lopengl32

... (several more lines unmodified) ...

5) Run make -f Make32 to build the windows .exe versions of the tests.

6) Run the tests on windows, on wine, on cygwin, or wherever you like.
Note* This is just a cross-compiling exercise. You should download and build the windows version of the tests to test wine.

What works

Pretty much all the graphical test .exes work just fine under wine!

What does not

We cross-compiled these tests as an exercise. As expected, the cross-compiled tests that send output to the console will not work unless you downlaoded the proper win32 versions of the tests.

Additional Comments

Being cross-platform and open source makes SDL a good test suite for showing off wine's compatibility.
