Fixed bug #176 [I'm fixing this for the public headers, but I'm not going to bother for the SDL library code (yet)] To clarify: Normaly, GCC (or, to be precise, the preprocessor) will ignore this, and compile the code happily. However, one can specify -Wundef to get a warning about this. One can probably argue whether to consider this a bug or not; but I think that (a) from a semantic point of view, using "#if FOO" when FOO is not defined is strange, and (b) since it is possible to trigger a warning about this, and a trivial fix exists, it should be corrected. I can think of two alternative patches, BTW: 1) Simply use #define HAVE_FOO 0, instead of not defining HAVE_FOO at all 2) Change #if HAVE_FOO to #if HAVE_FOO+0 which always does the right thing. But I think I still prefer the attached patch :-).

To compile and install SDL:

    1.  Run './configure; make; make install'

        If you are compiling for Windows using gcc, read the FAQ at:
        http://www.libsdl.org/faq.php?action=listentries&category=4#42

        If you are compiling using Visual C++ on Win32, you should read
        the file VisualC.html

    2.  Look at the example programs in ./test, and check out the HTML
        documentation in ./docs to see how to use the SDL library.

    3.  Join the SDL developer mailing list by sending E-mail to
    	sdl-request@libsdl.org
        and put "subscribe" in the subject of the message.

        Or alternatively you can use the web interface:
            http://www.libsdl.org/mailing-list.php

That's it!
