(3127B85) Nightly broken on Windows 8.1

[Biont]

Hey everyone,

I just tried to launch the latest nightly on windows. The launcher does not start at all and openmw.exe throws the following error:

Could not initialize SDL! Application didn't initialize properly, did you include SDL_main.h in the file containing your main() function?

I tried 0.28.0RC1 as well as the previous nightly and both work fine.

I just thought I'd let you know since I haven't found the error being reported yet


EDIT: Yeah, 64 bit here as well. To make sure, I also tested the 32bit version which behaves the same

Confirmed; win 8.1 64-bit.

[Amenophis]

Me too. Win 7 64 bits

Yeah, this is because I think endorph disabled the WinMain from SDL, so it fails to initialize properly. It shouldn't be too hard to move some of the pre-init code over from SDLs WinMain, but it's not something I can do until saturday at soonest.
Until then the nightlies will probably not work at all...

According to Sam Lantinga:

If you don't want SDL to redefine your main function, just
define SDL_MAIN_HANDLED before you include SDL.h, and then
call SDL_SetMainReady() before you call SDL_Init().

It looks like we're doing SDL_MAIN_HANDLED, but not SDL_SetMainReady.

Well, I'm still not in a position to try these things, but if that's the case then it shouldn't be hard to fix once I get back to my computer.

[endorph]

Oops.. Looks like my fault. -(
I can test with SDL_SetMainReady(), but at evening.
Btw, 32bit configuration is ok?

The latest nightlies are working again, gus managed to fix it before I got back home to my computer.

Thanks, Ace and Gus. Must Appreciated.

Np. Actually, the fix was given to me by Ace/pvdk
