Adam Strzelecki to SDL Actually after my patch commited in r4928 MinGW configure seems to generate broken Makefile due MSYS bash bug. (Attaching cure/patch below) The problem is that: TEST=`echo 'one\\ two\\ three\\'` echo "$TEST" Should echo: one\ two\ three\ Does it on Linux, Mac.. all UNIX but not on MSYS (MinGW) which outputs: one\two\three\ (new lines removed, probably it doesn't like backslashes) Probably this bug should be submitted to MSYS team, but not waiting till MSYS gets it fixed (they have very slow release cycles) here goes simple cure... My patch simply replaces single quoted SED rules where we needed newlien injection with double quoted ones. Tested on Mac, Linux & MinGW. Please review it ASAP coz this may be showstopper for everybody compiling with MinGW.

                         Simple DirectMedia Layer

                                  (SDL)

                                Version 1.2

This is the Simple DirectMedia Layer, a general API that provides low
level access to audio, keyboard, mouse, joystick, 3D hardware via OpenGL,
and 2D framebuffer across multiple platforms.

The current version supports Linux, Windows, Windows CE, BeOS, MacOS,
Mac OS X, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, BSD/OS, Solaris, IRIX, and QNX.
The code contains support for AIX, OSF/Tru64, RISC OS, and SymbianOS,
but these are not officially supported.

SDL is written in C, but works with C++ natively, and has bindings to
several other languages, including Ada, C#, Eiffel, Erlang, Euphoria,
Guile, Haskell, Java, Lisp, Lua, ML, Objective C, Pascal, Perl, PHP,
Pike, Pliant, Python, Ruby, and Smalltalk.

This library is distributed under GNU LGPL version 2, which can be
found in the file  "COPYING".  This license allows you to use SDL
freely in commercial programs as long as you link with the dynamic
library.

The best way to learn how to use SDL is to check out the header files in
the "include" subdirectory and the programs in the "test" subdirectory.
The header files and test programs are well commented and always up to date.
More documentation is available in HTML format in "docs/index.html", and
a documentation wiki is available online at:
	http://www.libsdl.org/cgi/docwiki.cgi

The test programs in the "test" subdirectory are in the public domain.

Frequently asked questions are answered online:
	http://www.libsdl.org/faq.php

issues, you can join the developers mailing list:
