SDL_image with Sun Java runtime (jre) problem

SDL Development
1

I currently maintain a port of SDL in Java that uses several popular SDL
libraries (SDL_image, SDL_ttf, and SDL_mixer). The problem is if I use
Sun’s Java runtime to run a program written in it the runtime will
instantly conflict with SDL_image since they both have shared libraries
called jpeg. Is there any chance that SDL_image could in the future use
a different name for its shared library to prevent this?

As far as I know, that jpeg library it uses is the standard libjpeg.
So, I don’t think the SDL people are the right ones to ask?On Wed, 2002-08-07 at 11:11, Stanley E Brown wrote:
