Linux / Mac Cross-platform tweaks ?

| Hi I successfully build my game over Mac and Linux but I have a few issues with the Linux version (and probably with the Mac too, unfortunately I can't try this one): 1) For Local mode:TGraphicsMode = EachIn GraphicsModes() - Correctly return GraphicsModes under Windows, not under Linux !? 2) Is there problem with the playback off OGG loop under Linux ? Some sound volume aren't correctly set while perfectly working under Windows... 3) I don't understand why keys aren't the same under Linux ? key ['4] is equal to [ēģ] or [&1] is equal to [z] !!?? 4) I still need to look at / and \ file access before but I already know I have problem with libxml to update some configuration files... While as always it's working fine under Windows :s Also, I don't know if the last 10.04 LTS Ubuntu supported NVidia driver for OpenGl is good enough (only 195) but I have a noticeable FPS drop too :( |

| 1) I found the error : under Ubuntu the driver return a depth of 24, not 16 nor 32 Bits. My "resolution selector" didn't take this in account. This is a bit problematic for the first execution. Maybe I should use the current Desktop refresh rate AND Depth (thanks to the DesktopExtension from d-bug). 2) This one will be hard to track down. 3) Why the constant key code aren't the same ? 4) I'm correctly using / everywhere, the problem was a consequence of 1) By the way Ziggy if you read that, Blide is always using \ in the main bmx file to create incbin resources and things alike. And I still don't know too why '#Region &HAF Imports Import absolute .c file path '#Region &HAF Imports '?flags Import "C:\BlitzMax\Projects\Metagolf\cpp\EaseEquations.c" '? '#EndRegion &HAF |

| It would be truly awesome if Ziggy implemented a cross-platform compile option, where especially this slash vs backslash trouble for imports would be removed. |

| 2) OK I figured out ! In fact the PlaySound(snd,channel) didn't take in account the channel argument for obscure reasons. So I had to reallocate it like this: channel=PlaySound(snd,channel) Now it's working great :) 3) My only problem now is the keyboard control all mixed up under Linux ? |

| Ziggy if you read that, Blide is always using \ in the main bmx file to create incbin resources and things alike Incbin, Includes and Imports can be used with \ and / on any BlitzMax platform, the compiler accept both so no need to change that. In your run-time loading routines this can be different, but this has nothing to do with BLIde or BlitzMax. |
