Re: [sdljava-users] Problems with JavaSDL.. I've been trying for hours to get this to work.

[Chris D. <Des...@nt...>]

Great! The script now works! All I had to do is download SDL from 
ww.libsdl.org and plonk SDL.dll into my c:\windows\system32 directory. 
System.loadLibrary("sdljava"); is still required, however. I'll have a 
go at using it, and use the mailing list again if any other problems arise.

By the way, I have doubts about the portability of this code. How many 
users are going to mess around with all this if they want to play an SDL 
Java game on their system? It seems that Java is a bit wrapped in 
obfuscation when it comes to using C libraries.

Regards,
Chris
