Fixed bug #674 Matej 2009-01-08 09:25:34 PST Hello, I maintain a cross-platform project that uses SDL. One of the users who runs OSX has told me that he has problems with linking to SDL due to missing -framework option. I think that the problem is because of this: 'sdl-config --libs' outputs '-L/opt/local/lib -lSDLmain -lSDL -Wl,-framework,Cocoa' All the options are passed to the linker except the last one. I think that the good output should be just: '-L/opt/local/lib -lSDLmain -lSDL -framework Cocoa' since those options (--libs) are passed to the linker, so the '-Wl' option is redundant and possibly harmful in this very case I use autotools with libtool to do the build... Regards, Matej

                         Simple DirectMedia Layer

                                  (SDL)

                                Version 1.2

http://www.libsdl.org/

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 CE/95/98/ME/XP/Vista, BeOS,
MacOS Classic, Mac OS X, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, BSD/OS, Solaris, IRIX,
and QNX.  The code contains support for Dreamcast, Atari, AIX, OSF/Tru64,
RISC OS, SymbianOS, Nintendo DS, and OS/2, 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

If you need help with the library, or just want to discuss SDL related
issues, you can join the developers mailing list:

Enjoy!
