Hi all,
why does SDL not use the autoconf/automake environment ?! I make one at the moment for the Debian GNU/Linux source package so we can recompile it easy on many platforms (m68k, alpha, i386, sparc). If someone have interessts in it i will upload it to http://www.solutions4linux.de/debian/ as soon it works on my linux box. But, is there a reason why the SDL project does not use it ?!–

Um, I don’t know autoconf/automake. Also, it needs to compile using the
Win32 cross-compiler, and autoconf didn’t have support for that until
recently. SDL is celebrating it’s 2 year birthday this month. 
Someone else is also working on autoconf support, but I haven’t heard
from them in a while.

Try making the Configure script “unattended”, so that when there’s a new debian
port, SDL will be usable when the autocompilers get humming 
Basically, the display support should pick the first option, if there’s only 1
to choose from, or the default one in other cases, and have command line
options for non-default/automatic behaviour.On Wed, Jul 21, 1999 at 08:16:59AM -0700, Sam Lantinga wrote:
