Description Alistair John Strachan 2008-06-19 04:49:12 UTC 
An x64 build of SDL (built with mingw-win64) crashes any application built against it if the SDL_VIDEODRIVER is set to "directx". There is apparently no problem with the "windib" driver.
Comment 1 Alistair John Strachan 2008-06-19 04:54:48 UTC 
By the way I have not yet tested an MSVC build so I cannot guarantee this isn't a toolchain issue.
Comment 2 Alistair John Strachan 2008-12-01 15:40:06 UTC 
This was a bogus report. The problem is that if a video driver like directx is disabled because the configure script cannot build it (in my case I was missing the directx headers), SDL will crash the first time you SetVideoMode(). So there's a bug in SDL but it's not x64 specific.
