[Tuxpaint-devel] [fwd] Re: [SDL] File paths and portability

[Bill K. <nb...@so...>]

Dave's "fnkdat" library supports Windows, Linux and FreeBSD,
but not /specifically/ Mac OS X, Solaris or BeOS.

Perhaps we can help improve his library, and at the same time utilize it
in Tux Paint?

When faced with the same problem, I wrote this:

It may work for you as well.
