Kylix, Debian and SDL

Does anyone use Kylix with Debian? I have both Kylix 1 and 3 on a
Debian SID system. It appears that there’s a problem with Kylix using
the SDL libraries. It may be a problem with the Xlibs being static
instead of dynamic.

Now when I attempt to compile any SDL application, I get the following
errors in SDL.pas:

Undeclared identifier: 'XEvent’
Undeclared identifier: 'TWindow’
Undeclared identifier: ‘SDL_SYSWM_TYPE’

When talking to people on the JEDI_SDL mailing list, they say that
there’s not a problem on other distributions, so I’m assuming that
there’s something different with Debian. Is there a work-around for
this?

Any suggestions?

Hi Logan,
Just had a look at the problem.
My Bad :(. I added the new X11 event code for windows and also Linux but
did not check the Linux code. I have just updated CVS ( SDL.pas ) with
the changes required for it to compile and hopefully work :).

Let me know if there are any problems.

Dominique.
