Hi Kartik and Tobias,

ad our last discussion on IRC.

I have investigated the warning "Failed loading D3DX9_*.dll" and
come up with the enclosed patch (please forward it to relevant SDL2
mailing list/bugtracker).

The warning has gone and DirectX seems to be loaded but I was not
able to test it more.

Re: Packaging with strawberry perl

[kmx]

Interesting idea.

My guess is that for portable strawberry you will need to keep at least
perl\vendor\lib\Portable\*
perl\vendor\lib\Portable.pm
+ perhaps File::HomeDir and other Portable's prereqs

What you can do:
1/ take strawberry portable
2/ install SDL + all necessary modules
3/ move all c:\portable-strawberry\c\bin\*.dll to
c:\portable-strawberry\perl\bin\

4/ delete

Could I delete all of perl/vendor and install SDL using cpan. Then remove
the cpan stuff?

In theory you can delete whatever in perl/vendor you only cannot be sure if 
some of SDL dependencies is not using it.

Just muting the error message. To be honest I do not know how to measure 
whether HW acceleration was really utilised or not. Perhaps some of your 
benchmark scripts can tell us :)

Awesome. What is the difference (besides muting the error?) for the load
there?

DirectX - Failed loading D3DX9_*.dll

[kmx]

Hi Kartik and Tobias,

ad our last discussion on IRC.

I have investigated the warning "Failed loading D3DX9_*.dll" and come up 
with the enclosed patch (please forward it to relevant SDL2 mailing 
list/bugtracker).


The warning has gone and DirectX seems to be loaded but I was not able to 
test it more.


New binaries:
http://strawberryperl.com/package/kmx/sdl/32bit_SDL2_20130305.zip
http://strawberryperl.com/package/kmx/sdl/64bit_SDL2_20130305.zip

Alien-SDL2 on github was also updated
