I'm testing my application that uses SDL2 on the new Apple Silicon Macs. I set up the SDL 2.0.12 source code from the website and tried to build it. The first issue I ran into was that it was always building OpenGL ES, even if --disable-video-opengles was passed to configure. OpenGL ES headers do not seem to be present on the Apple Silicon macOS SDK, except for the iOS SDK headers. Then I had problems with the joystick driver, where some classes used on iOS were not available on macOS.
After looking through the configure.ac script a bit, I found that iOS targets are selected when the build host matches "arm*-apple-darwin*". Clang on macOS 11.0 on arm64 reports the host as "arm64-apple-darwin20.0.0", which matches the iOS target. This means that ARM Mac compilation will always be detected as iOS. Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be an easy way to detect Mac vs. iOS targets, since they now both use the same triplet & compiler for building.
I'm not sure what the best way to fix this is, but maybe there could be an additional target flag to specify whether to build for macOS or iOS? This might break compatibility, though: with this approach, either all old scripts that used configure to build for iOS fail, or all new builds on macOS without a flag fail (silently?).
The compiler understands it, but the "qcc" compiler driver doesn't, and the
standard Khronos headers upset QNX anyhow, since they try to include X11
headers in the __unix__ section.
A project being built entirely statically will call pkg-config with
--static, which utilises the Libs.private field. Conversely it will
not use --static when not being built entirely statically, even if
there is only a static build of SDL available. This will most likely
cause the build to fail due to underlinking unless we merge the Libs
fields.
This is what the Meson build system does when it generates pkg-config
files. This also also follows the behaviour of sdl2-config.
At the same time, the runtime linker flags are not applicable to
static-only builds so only add them for shared builds.

Add new RawInput controller API, and improved correlation with XInput/WGI
Reorder joystick init so drivers can ask the others if they handle a device reliably
Do not poll disconnected XInput devices (major perf issue)
Fix various cases where incorrect correlation could happen
Simple mechanism for propagating unhandled Guide button presses even before guaranteed correlation
Correlate by axis motion as well as button presses
Fix failing to zero other trigger
Fix SDL_HINT_JOYSTICK_HIDAPI not working if set before calling SDL_Init()
Add missing device to device names
Disable RawInput if we have a mismatch of XInput-capable but not RawInput-capable devices
Updated to SDL 2.0.13 code with the following notes:
New HID driver: xbox360w - no idea what that is, hopefully urelated
SDL_hidapijoystick.c had been refactored to couple data handling logic with device opening logic and device lists caused some problems, yields slightly uglier integration than previously when the 360 HID device driver was just handling the data.
SDL_hidapijoystick.c now often pulls the device off of the joystick_hwdata structure for some rumble logic, but it appears that code path is never reached, so probably not a problem.
Looks like joystick_hwdata was refactored to not include a mutex in other drivers, maintainers may want to do the same refactor here if that's useful for some reason.
Something changed in how devices get names, so getting generic names.
Had to fix a (new?) bug where removing an XInput controller caused existing controllers (that moved to a new XInput index) to get identified as 0x045e/0x02fd ("it's probably Bluetooth" in code), rendering the existing HIDAPI_IsDevicePresent and new RAWINPUT_IsDevicePresent unreliable.

The new source files for coremotion sensors don't seem to have been included correctly in configure.in. This leads to the build script ios-build.sh to fail at link time, complaining about missing symbols, namely about missing SDL_COREMOTION_SensorDriver.
Fixes a race where we try to build version res file in build directory
before it has even been created. Prevents errors like:
/bin/bash ../SDL2-2.0.10/build-scripts/updaterev.sh
/bin/bash ../SDL2-2.0.10/build-scripts/mkinstalldirs build
mkdir -p -- build

While the CMake build checks for ibus and does enable the ibus backend with set(HAVE_IBUS_IBUS_H TRUE), this does not define SDL_USE_IME, thus CMake built SDL2 (as in Arch Linux) cannot use IME at all.
The attached patch fixes this behaviour when building against ibus. IME support will still fail when only fcitx is available on the build system.
This is currently supported on Linux and macOS. iOS and Android are not
supported at all, Windows support could be added with some changes to the libusb
backend. The Visual Studio and Xcode projects do not use this feature.
Based on Valve Software's hid.cpp, written in collaboration with Andrew Eikum.
(and it defaults to "yes" on those platforms. Other places, which use libusb,
still default to no because they probably need root permissions to work.)

A horde of strict aliasing violation warnings are emitted from joystick
layer, and also from a few other places. This happens with gcc-4.4.7 on
Linux CentOS 6.10. Some other sysjoystick would possibly have the same
warnings.
Attached my full log here. Example entry:
src/joystick/SDL_joystick.c: In function 'SDL_GetJoystickGUIDInfo':
src/joystick/SDL_joystick.c:1094: warning: dereferencing pointer '({anonymous})' does break strict-aliasing rules

The evdev interface is available on FreeBSD, with the xf86-input-evdev for include files in /usr/local/include/linux, so <linux/input.h> works, or when build with the native evdev option, where <dev/evdev/input.h> is available.
This lets you build a custom embedded device that roughly offers the "this
process is going to the background NOW" semantics of SDL on a mobile device.

I am having a parallel build problem with -j3 or higher using the autotools build and slibtool instead of GNU libtool. Basically slibtool is faster than GNU libtool and it will start working before mkdir starts or finishes creating the build/ directory.
From Tom Black:
I'm having problems initializing the sensor module. I'm compiling with a standard ./configure && make && sudo make install, and the module says it's enabled, but SDL_Init(SDL_INIT_EVERYTHING) is failing with SDL_GetError() returning "SDL not built with sensor support".
add HAVE_ENDPOINTVOLUME_H, HAVE_MMDEVICEAPI_H and HAVE_AUDIOCLIENT_H
in SDL_config.h.in, SDL_config.h.cmake, SDL_config_windows.h, and in
SDL_config_winrt.h.
Now you don't need the latest Wayland installed to build with
newer protocols supported, as they'll build correctly; even if
your system can't use them, we can make intelligent decisions
at runtime about what's available on the current machine anyhow.
This also simplifies some logic and possible failure cases in
the configure and CMake scripts.
Fixes Bugzilla #4207.
This is just in parity with the existing zxdg-shell-unstable-v6 code. Making
the Wayland target robust (and uh, with title bars) is going to take a lot
of work on top of this.

Running top-level SDL configure on macOS 10.11 resulted in the errors below because automake removed the brackets about the tests.
./configure: line 15756: : command not found

When you try use SDL2 2.0.8 in CMake project in Linux, it complains about trailing spaces in sdl2.pc:
CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:147 (add_executable):
Target "TestSimpleMain" links to item "-L/usr/lib64 -lSDL2 " which has
leading or trailing whitespace. This is now an error according to policy
CMP0004.

Configury adds Metal.framework to linkage even if it is not available.
My solution is setting enable_render_metal to no when Metal.framework
is not found
This is meant to be the desktop-enhanced version of wl_shell. Right now we
just match what the existing wl_shell code does, but there are other areas of
functionality available to us now, that we can fill in later.
This uses the "unstable" API, since this is what ships in Ubuntu 17.10 (as
part of Wayland 1.10), but Wayland 1.12 promotes this to stable with extremely
minor changes. We will add support for the stable version when it makes sense
to do so.
