SDL 1.2.5 beta released

[bhoggett]

Gabriele Greco has released SDL v1.2.5 beta for AmigaOS and MorphOS.

This version updates SDL to the latest source tree and fixes some bugs of the previous version. The most important one is the SixK P96 fix for hicolor modes.

The archive cointains:

    * GCC 68k static library.
    * GCC morphos static library.
    * SAS/C static library
    * The 68k SHARED SDL.library, works with any language or compiler able to parse an .fd file.
    * A few SDL examples with a GCC Makefile to build them.
    * Inlines, pragmas and .fd files for the 68k shared library.
    * Includes and HTML docs from the original SDL archive.

All the examples are compiled for the shared version of SDL to save space and bring users and developers to choose the shared library solution but they all works (at least on my system) also with the static one.

This is appreciated... the SDL is so cool, I've just spent three weeks coding an assignment I handed in today, and I chose to do it with SDL rather than what we were recommended - borland's graphics.h! . It compiles on Linux/windows OK, so I might see if it works on Amiga 68k sometime

Damn, if Anjuta was available on miggy I'd be set..

Amen to that bro'. Anjuta's one of the nicest IDEs I've used. It's a real shame we don't have anything quite like it on the Amiga. Now, if only someone was to port the full GTK+ or do a comprehensive MUI/Reaction wrapper for it, maybe we'd see some more software ported.
