29 2. Build the SDL libraries (libSDLiPhoneOS.a and libSDLSimulator.a) and include them in your project. XCode will ignore the library that is not currently of the correct architecture, hence your app will work both on iPhone and in the iPhone Simulator.

31 4. Remove main.m and replace it with a new main.m (or main.c) which is coded like a normal SDL program. To replace main.m with a main.c, you must tell XCode not to use the project prefix file, which includes references to Cocoa Touch.

47 When your SDL based iPhone application starts up, it sets the working directory to the main bundle (MySDLApp Home/MySDLApp.app), where your application resources are stored. You cannot write to this directory, however -- instead, I advise you to write document files to "../Documents/" and preferences to "../Library/Preferences".
