no SDL output on macOS about freebee HOT 11 CLOSED

Is this the same Mac you used on #21 -- with Mac OS 10.15.5 (Catalina)?

It seems like this is a bug in SDL which manifests on Mojave and later: https://hg.libsdl.org/SDL/rev/ab7529cb9558

Seems like SDL2 has had a fix for this since 2018: https://hg.libsdl.org/SDL/rev/55489adbb75c

Can you try building and installing the latest development version of SDL1.2?

EDIT: Longer term Freebee should probably be ported to SDL2 but that's not a trivial task due to the API changes.

I believe 1.2.15 is already the latest SDL

Sorry if I wasn't clear - I was referring to building from the SDL source code in the Mercurial repository.

It seems like porting to SDL2 might fix it. I had a quick look at doing that, but it's not simple. Quite a bit of the API has changed...

from freebee.

I will try that

Phil, I did a basic migration to SDL2. Would you like to migrate to SDL2? Or retain the 1.2 compatibility?

from freebee.

@shadyjesse My understanding is that SDL1.2 is deprecated at this point, so migrating to SDL2 is probably a good idea!

Submit a PR and I'll take a look. I had a go at it myself but got stuck migrating the SDL_Timer stuff to SDL2.

@philpem I just checked on Raspberry Pi and worked fine. PR has been submitted.

I've just merged @shadyjesse's SDL2 port. @tenox7 can you please confirm whether this fixes your issue?

from freebee.

oh yes now it works thank you!

I'm not sure if these bus error page not mapped are of any importance?

from freebee.

The bus errors are just debugging information from the memory handler - at some point they need to be turned off...

Glad to hear it works now!

Closed - resolved.

thanks for fixing this! :)
