Thanks for the info. Never tried to compile SDL sources or get it via
Fink or MacPort.
the only purpose, that passdlmain can be usefull, is extending
(customizing) application menu, using pascal, rather than obj-c.
I think it would also be useful to make the default FPC SDL unit work
with both the framework and unix library version: if your unit is be
added to the uses clause of the sdl unit and the {$linklib SDLmain} is
removed, then the unit should always work (since, as far as I know,
the SDLmain.m file in the framework is simply the source file of
libSDLmain.a).
Also, speaking about sdl header. Correct if i'm wrong, but SDL tries
to link XLib and/or X11 library under Darwin, even if these libs are
not to be used?
Yes, that can still be removed.
P.S. I'm going to copy-paste your email to the wiki (about details on
how-to get SDL lib, instead of framework), if you don't mind.
No problem.
