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

The reason these libraries are built outside of the standard XFree86
tree is so that they can be linked as shared object code directly into
SDL without causing any symbol collisions with code in the application.

You can't link static library code into shared libraries on non-x86
Linux platforms.  Since these libraries haven't become standard yet,
we'll just include them directly.

These sources are synchronized with XFree86 4.2.1
