The SDL 1.2 code is in a new CVS repository module, “SDL12”
Here are the new instructions:
cvs -d :pserver:guest at cvs.lokigames.com:/cvs login
password is “guest”
cvs -z3 -d :pserver:guest at cvs.lokigames.com:/cvs checkout SDL12
cd SDL12; ./autogen.sh; make; make install
periodically run “make distclean; cvs -z3 update -d”
See ya!
