Re: [SDLmm-general] back in action

[Martin B. <bi...@as...>]

Hi,

it's nice to see some action at the SDLmm project again.

We are using SDLmm for Advanced Strategic Command (www.asc-hq.org). The
current version does not use it very much, but ASC2, which is currently
under development, uses it to a much greater extent. Since we are using
Paragui for dialogs in ASC2, I'll keep an eye that both libraries get
along each other :)

To make packaging and building of ASC easier, we included SDLmm in the
ASC source package, so I could fix several problems with SDLmm without
the need for an official SDLmm release. I'm attaching a patch with the
fixes. 

The patch does not include changes that were necessary for building
SDLmm with Borland C++ Builder. The RCSID macros caused conflicts, so I
removed them all. IMHO, they have nothing lost in the global namespace.
I suggest, if they are need at all, to at least put them into the SDLmm
namespace. 


I also agree that error handling using exceptions is better than the
current use of return codes.
