Description Ryan C. Gordon 2006-01-12 17:25:17 UTC 
So we can sanity check the final binaries for missing targets, and also so these can be programmatically discovered and chosen (environment variables don't count!).

Setting Sam as "QA Contact" on all bugs (even resolved ones) so he'll definitely be in the loop to any further discussion here about SDL.

Comment 3 Max Horn 2006-04-17 03:49:31 UTC 
Indeed, we've had to tell too many of our users (IMHO :-) about how to use those arcane SDL_* env vars to get ScummVM working on their system. It would be so much nicer if we could provide our own configuration option for this, w/o hacking up the env vars before calling SDL code...
Comment 4 Sam Lantinga 2006-05-20 00:35:45 UTC 
This is implemented in SDL 1.3:
        Added SDL_GetNumVideoDrivers() and SDL_GetVideoDriver().
        Replaced SDL_VideoDriverName() with SDL_GetCurrentVideoDriver()
        Added SDL_GetNumAudioDrivers() and SDL_GetAudioDriver().
        Replaced SDL_AudioDriverName() with SDL_GetCurrentAudioDriver()

You can already initialize specific drivers:
SDL_VideoInit(), SDL_AudioInit()
