Description
Diff file for adding support for the Atari ST/FreeMiNT Platform. 5 files modified, 1 new file added.
configure modified to detect the Atari FreeMiNT OS, set a define for MINT, and set a define for SYSTEM_NOT_SUPPORTING_D_TYPE.
common/hashmap.h modified because, for compatibility reasons, I am using GCC 2.95.3 (3.3.6 is available though).
sound/mididrv.cpp & sound/mididrv.h modified to add an instance for a midi driver for the platform.
backends/module.mk modified to include the midi driver for the Atari ST
New File - backends/midi/stmidi.cpp Midi driver to utilize the Atari ST series of computer's built in midi ports. Currently does not work (looks like a problem with pointers, when midiparser is called, the pointers seem wrong, still working on it).
Ticket imported from: #1497254. Ticket imported from: patches/645.

Pending response from the bug submitter.
This tracker item contains a patch for a midi driver, which you yourself declare as not working. It also contains a mod to configure which disables various functionality "for performance reasons" -- why not just use --disable-vorbis etc. then, and let users decide whichever speed they can afford?

MP3 and OGG/Vorbis (also MPEG2 and FLAC) usage basically slows the computer down to just about 1 frame/second or less. With the current implementations of Vorbis, CPU usage is about 60-70% when playing a sound file.
The latest patch removed all midi references. Our native midi does not work because of what appears to be a possible callback timer issue with our SDL port. The porter is working on this now. When/if it works, I'll just resubmit the midi patches.
Otherwise, the patch attached here should be good.

"The computer" ? I thought FreeMiNT runs on many different kind of computers, even PowerPC ones? Is there a webpage out there that tells me what kind of systems FreeMiNT runs on, precisely?
The only other change in the attached patch is a tiny tweak to HashMap, which I can apply.
And then there is of course the non-working MIDI driver, which I hence won't add...

Hello,
FreeMiNT only runs on Atari STs (ST/STe/TT/Falcon and Atari clones like Milan, Medusa, Hades, etc) with a Motorola 680x0 CPU. There are projects in the works of porting it to the Motorola Coldfire CPU, but that is something that if it happens will be a while.
MiNT is one of 3 alternatives for an 'OS' to run on the computers, like the Amiga and MorphOS, OS4, etc. There exists MiNT (now FreeMiNT) and Magic, both support multitasking, and TOS, single tasking only and built into a ROM on the various computers's motherboard.
ScummVM will only run on a 68060 CPU.

And, the only patch to apply would be the last one added. It supercedes the previous 2 patches. I was just told to upload replacements until applied. The last patch was applied to build 0.9.0 and the patch was also included with the distributed binary.

Well, if MP3 and Ogg usage slow down the computer so much -- why would the user have MAD and libogg installed in the first place? Maybe they are fast enough to play sound standalone? In any case, I am very reluctant to hardcode disabling a feature like MP3 or Vorbis support. Users might for whatever odd reason still want to try it out (e.g. somebody is working on a new handoptimized 68k asm core for MAD and wants to test it...). Normal users won't have the libs present at all. The others can just use --disable-mad etc.
Hence I am rejecting that part of the patch, at least for now. Maybe you can bring up some convincing reasons why one has to force-disable support for these libs, in a fashion that makes it impossible to re-enable them w/o editing configure itself...
I added the rest of the patch to HEAD, thanks!
