I use the Cygnus port of gcc to PPC MacOS for all of my SDL work. It is
also possible to build SDL with MrC and Apple’s free MPW environment.
I have not seen a Linux hosted MacOS compiler, but I sure would like
one.

Not that I know of.

Apple MPW works nicely. You need to download it from Apple’s web site.
It’s just pretty much drag the folder out of the disk image, and run it.
Check out the tutorial, and then download the SDL source code.
You’ll need DropStuff to uncompress the gzipped tar file.

You’ll need MPW Makefiles to build SDL, and I can provide them if you
get that far.

Remember, SDL is still alpha quality on MacOS.
