SDL update request

[bmarkus]

SDL.tcz in the repo is dated on January 2009, it's really an anciant extension. Also there is a new upstream version available. Would be good to get it updated

me 2 requesting update & compile libsdl with alsa support please

[curaga]

Not sure when I can get to it, but it's on my list.

[Arslan S.]

i just need the SDL (not the others sdl_image, sdl_mixer etc.) compiled with alsa support

to fix this problem SDL needs to be compiled with alsa support

Does this mean that all the extensions that depend on 'SDL.tcz' are forced to use ALSA or will it be possible to continue with OSS?

If the former is the case would it make sense to create a 'SDL-alsa.tcz' and keep an OSS compatbile version (possibly updated to 1.2.14) still around?

no it is just adding support for alsa alongside oss

At worst it is an additional dep, libasound. If I remember right SDL does not link to libasound though, so if it still loads it dynamically, not even the dep.

yes libasound is dynamically loaded by default configure options, so no need to add it to dep list

Arslan & curaga: Thanks for your clarifications and putting my concern to rest.
