Title: SDL update request
Post by: bmarkus on July 25, 2010, 01:53:50 PM

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 :)

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
