Build with SDL3?

Post by emendelson »

kanjitalk755's source code for SS and BII has been changing to work with SDL3. Is it time to start building these apps with SDL3 instead of SDL2, or should we keep using SDL2 until some future time?

SDL3 is still only available in a prerelease version. As long as kanjitalk755 does not specifically advise SDL3 in his build instructions, I would use SDL2.

Thank you. I'll have to find some other way to avoid doing real work...

Please tell me which ways you find, including their rationale ;-)

I can usually find some way to work some of my other projects - and this is only a partial list:

But I'm a hopeless failure at thinking of rationales. Maybe we should create a subforum for them?
