Nice news !
Thanks for these updates.
Will try the SDL_image 1.2.11 asap.
Is SDL 1.2.x supposed to “stop” one day for 1.3 version ?
Why is OS X PPC support being dropped?
Yes, I know it’s old and it’s doubtful how many people are actually using it but still I wonder why dropping it now.
Compiling the framework worked fine with hg of some weeks ago and the autotools way works fine with current hg.
Since SDL 1.2.15 is mostly a maintenance release I really see no reason to drop PPC support. Code changes that are incompatible with PPC haven’t been made AFAIK…
If it’s just a convenience thing of building the ppc framework on Lion, I can help out with a real PPC machine (as well as many others can help out I guess).
Because I don’t have a PPC machine or a toolchain to build it. 
If you contribute .dmg files with PPC universal binaries I’ll be happy to
host them, but I can’t build them.On Fri, Jan 6, 2012 at 2:33 PM, Dominus wrote:

he he, fair enough. I’ll see what I can do this weekend. I don’t doubt I can deliver for SDL, I’m not 100% sure if I can deliver for the satellite libs since I never needed to build the frameworks for those.
As my time gets swallowed by my baby son, I wouldn’t mind if someone else steps up, but I’ll definitely look into it this weekend

FWIW, Xcode 3 still works in Lion, so the tool chain shouldn’t be a
problem. Lack of a machine to test with is another story

I think the very last version of Xcode (3.2.6?) removed PowerPC from
the tool chain, at least on Intel machines.On 1/6/12, Gregory Smith wrote:

Hello !
I think the very last version of Xcode (3.2.6?) removed PowerPC from
the tool chain, at least on Intel machines.
Is 10.4 still getting security updates from Apple ?
CU
And I don’t expect setting Xcode 3 to the 10.7 SDK will work. I’ve
recently experienced problems with another project compiling the same
code on 10.5 or 10.6 with Xcode 3 and getting it to run on 10.7. I’m
not sure why this happened, but I don’t recommend building Intel
binaries for the official distribution with Xcode 3. We could use lipo
to glue the PowerPC binaries into the Intel built libraries though.On 1/6/12, Eric Wing <@Eric_Wing> wrote:

I think it was just removed from the menu. You can still go to Other and type in ppc.
Our last release was compiled in Xcode 3 in Lion, and it works from PPC 10.4 all the way up to 64-bit Intel Lion machines.

On OS X 10.6 I use Rosetta to test PPC builds. It works just fine. OS
X will install it automatically if you try to run a PPC GUI application.
Download something like VLC for PPC and you should be good to go.On 01/06/2012 11:20 PM, Sam Lantinga wrote:

10.5 is the last release that runs on PPC hardware, not 10.4.On 01/07/2012 05:12 AM, Torsten Giebl wrote:

Having the PPC binaries bundled in the distrubution frameworks will
force anyone who is going to submit software to the appstore to strip
the sdl executables of the ppc version…On Sat, Jan 7, 2012 at 4:13 AM, Eric Wing wrote:

and that’s so difficult…
But aren’t there license issues anyway with SDL 1.2 apps on the app store? How does the lesser GPL like another license on top of it?
If you link with the SDL framework there’s no problem.On Sat, Jan 7, 2012 at 11:10 AM, Dominus wrote:

Oh, that’s a good point. I didn’t realize that Apple was rejecting apps
with PPC code in them. I rebuilt the mikmod and smpeg frameworks without
PPC code, thanks!
Anybody who wants to distribute 10.4 PPC frameworks can either rebuild them
themselves or grab the 10.4 frameworks that Dominus makes.On Sat, Jan 7, 2012 at 8:29 AM, Vittorio Giovara <vitto.giova at yahoo.it>wrote:

Tested on OX 10.6.8 with Hedgewars
I have a few issues with the name changes of the frameworks, CMake
doesn’t find SDL_Mixer (but strangely finds the other) and Freepascal
linker doesn’t find any of the SDL satellite frameworks.
Renaming the frameworks isn’t enough, as later when you launch the app
the loader will look for its rpath, crashing with “Image not found”.
I know this restriction has been brought by the appstore (absurd)
policy, but would it be possible to have the old names back (and fake
the information in the Info.plist)?
