Version info in add-on libraries

SDL Development
1

Hi SDL folk,
Please ignore this e-mail if it’s not appropriate for this list. I’m
writing some autoconf scripts for a project that uses SDL as well as some of
the add-on libraries that have been created for it, namely SDL_mixer,
SDL_net, and SDL_image. As such, I’d like to be able to check the version
of these libraries that a user has on his/her system. SDL_mixer provides
this information, but SDL_net and SDL_image don’t, at the moment. If
possible, could the maintainer(s) of these (and other packages) put it on
his/her/their TODO list(s) to add some way of determining the version of the
software? It could be a #define or a function or a constant – whatever you
like.

Thanks,
Julian_________________________________________________________________

Fixed. SDL_mixer, SDL_image, SDL_ttf, and SDL_net all use the same convention.

Thanks!
