#116 lmarbles: sdl2+ support

[Nuno Teixeira]

Hello,

sdl12 is deprecated.
Is there any upstream plans of supporting sdl2 , sdl3 or at least sdl12-compat?

I'm not familiar with sdl12-compat but my first look is how to deal with consumers without include dir.
( https://github.com/libsdl-org/sdl12-compat#how-to-use )

Thanks

Hi, libsdl12-compat is a wrapper for the old libsdl referencing libsdl2. So older programs will run without any changes if libsdl12-compat is installed (alongside libsdl2). For example in Ubuntu there only is libsdl12-compat and it works properly for compiling from source and running the binary. I guess other distros are the same, so libsdl12-compat is supported or do I miss something? That being said, I might update to libsdl3 somewhere in the future. Regards, Michael
