JEDI-SDL in Lazarus throwing a compile error in SDL_AddPixel

[JSoftware]

The problem is this line:

PUInt8( Addr )^ := R or G or B;

Addr is declared as:

Addr         : cardinal;

And cardinal is a 32bit, which isn't going to work on a 64bit OS

Overall looking sdlutils.pas reveals some pretty bad code(bad in the sense it shouldn't be used for crossplatform use). Cardinal is used all over for pointer arithmetic. Unless it's given a large overhaul it won't work on anything but 32bit platforms

Thanks Guys.
There's totally some bad code in sdlutils, I wrote some of it LOL.

Yes it's Windows. The Mac is lovely, but all of my dev work is on Windows these days.

Unfortunately, My CBCFoundation engine uses it extensively (for better or for worse).

I'll download the 32bit version of Lazarus to see if that helps.

I should probably dump the CBCFoundation anyway in favour of an OpenGL based one - I'm too old to be writing Engines these days.

Thanks again.

Sorry, but I have to post a quick OUCH. I read you were using OpenGl, I'd watch some of it. Depending on the age of the setup you may find MS prefers D3D over OGL and it does show...

Easy doom-sayer. That would only be if they were using crappy drivers.

But seriously, although I may not have had a total fail I cannot help noticing a 10fps speed difference on windows nonetheless so there is some truth to it in just about all instances unfortunately.
