When compiling SDL for the Raspberry Pi, I have to use the --host parameter to enable compilation of the native Raspberry Pi video driver, like so:
--host=arm-raspberry-linux-gnueabihf
It took me a while to figure out that this was necessary in order to have the native Raspberry Pi video driver compiled in. I think it would be better if there was an option like --enable-video-rpi that could be passed to configure and that would also show up when saying configure --help. Currently, it?s rather difficult to figure out that you have to use the --host parameter with arm-raspberry-linux-gnueabihf in order to get Raspberry Pi video support. It?s also somewhat inconsistent because most other video drivers can in fact be enabled/disabled through specific configure parameters but there is no such parameter for the native Raspberry Pi video driver.

Cmake checks for float.h, but configure does not: the attached patch
adds float.h to checked headers in configury, and it adds the missing
HAVE_FLOAT_H macro to SDL_config.h.cmake and SDL_config.h.in.
In SDL_config_macosx.h and SDL_config_windows.h, defined HAVE_FLOAT_H
as 1, where I know that it's true.

Using the pre-built x86 devel libs from here:
https://www.libsdl.org/release/SDL2-devel-2.0.5-VC.zip
If I have:
SDL_GL_SetAttribute(SDL_GL_CONTEXT_PROFILE_MASK, SDL_GL_CONTEXT_PROFILE_ES);
SDL_GL_SetAttribute(SDL_GL_CONTEXT_MAJOR_VERSION, 2);
SDL_GL_SetAttribute(SDL_GL_CONTEXT_MINOR_VERSION, 0);
SDL_GL_SetAttribute(SDL_GL_CONTEXT_FLAGS, SDL_GL_CONTEXT_DEBUG_FLAG);
and I'm using ANGLE/(a GL driver that doesn't provide an ES2 context) such that SDL_EGL_CreateContext is called by SDL_GL_CreateContext, I get the error "Could not create EGL context (context attributes are not supported)" and no context is created.
Looking at the code in SDL_EGL_CreateContext - if gl_config.flags is non-zero, it looks like the code in the section guarded with "#ifdef EGL_KHR_create_context" should be executed - but it apparently isn't.
Is it possible this section hasn't been compiled into the pre-built libraries? If I build SDL2.dll myself using the Visual C++ solution (VS2015 Community Update 3) then the call succeeds as I expect

That's weird, these are the exact two functions that Emscripten incorrectly believed it had until we upgraded the buildbot's emsdk install.
Not sure what's up with this, but it's possibly not a MingW-specific thing!
macOS currently needs this if you build with X11 support. iOS doesn't
(currently), but it doesn't hurt to compile it in case we do something
Unixy on that platform later on.

I have occasional crashes here caused by the X11 backend of SDL2. It seems to
be caused by the X11_Pending function trying to add a high number (> 1024)
file descriptor to a fd_set before doing a select on it to avoid busy waiting
on X11 events. This causes a buffer overflow because the file descriptor is
larger (or equal) than the limit FD_SETSIZE.
Attached is a possible workaround patch.
Please also keep in mind that fd_set are also used in following files which
may have similar problems.

src/audio/paudio/SDL_paudio.c
src/audio/qsa/SDL_qsa_audio.c

I personally experienced this problem while hacking on the python bindings
package for SDL2 [1] (while doing make runtest). But it easier to reproduce in
a smaller, synthetic testcase.

This eliminates the need to manually compile in SDL_main_android.c.
Instead, add "-lSDL2main -Wl,-u,SDL_main_dummy" when linking.
I don't know how the nkd-build process works, but unless it was
for some reason linking libSDL2main.a it should be unaffected.

"if we're already using libtool, why aren't we using it ?"; they've been inspired by the fact, that at that mark, neither libSDL2_test.a nor libSDL2main.a were being built correctly (not sure if it's fully broken or just because I've tested the out-of-tree build)

On AmigaOS 4 platform with Newlib 'C' library, there is a problem with failing fseeko64. This seemed to be caused by using fopen instead of fopen64.

The attached patch adds support for KMS/DRM context graphics.
It builds with no problem on X86_64 GNU/Linux systems, provided the needed libraries are present, and on ARM GNU/Linux systems that have KMS/DRM support and a GLES2 implementation.
Tested on Raspberry Pi: KMS/DRM is what the Raspberry Pi will use as default in the near future, once the propietary DispmanX API by Broadcom is overtaken by open graphics stack, it's possible to boot current Raspbian system in KMS mode by adding "dtoverlay=vc4-kms-v3d" to config.txt on Raspbian's boot partition.
X86 systems use KMS right away in every current GNU/Linux system.
Simple build instructions:
$./autogen.sh
$./configure --enable-video-kmsdrm
$make

This patch is wrong: the structure in question has nothing to do with any
gcc version in use. I suggest reverting this adding a conigury check for
it, instead. Something like the following should do it: (configure needs
regenerating.)
Joshua Bodine
I'm going to reopen this because configure should still accurately report whether libudev will be used. Right now it just tests whether it's enabled as an argument, not whether configure was successful in finding it.

SDL2 on Haiku so far uses Haiku-specific APIs for loading dynamic objects as add-ons, instead of using dlopen to load them as libraries. This, for example, leads to SDL_mixer not being able to load its audio backends, when compiled with standard settings.
As discussed at https://www.freelists.org/post/haikuports/SDL2-mixer-ogg-music-not-playing-and-other-stuff,2 , the best way to deal with this would be using dlopen instead of load_add_on. The following patch implements this change by dropping the Haiku-specific bits and using dlopen instead.

Just moved ibus direct call to SDL_IME_* related functions, and adds fcitx IME support (uses DBus, too),
enable with env: SDL_IM_MODULE=fcitx (ibus still the default one)
