Description Sam Lantinga 2006-02-02 01:44:36 UTC 
configure reports:
checking for Cocoa framework... yes
checking for X... no
checking for OpenGL (GLX) support... no
checking for pthreads... yes
checking for recursive mutexes... no
checking for pthread semaphores... yes
...

Then building the library fails:

                 from SDL_QuartzEvents.m:23:

etc.
Comment 1 Sam Lantinga 2006-02-02 01:46:06 UTC 
We can't really default on anything in SDL_syswm.h that may not exist on a platform.  This header is included by the application code and needs to work wherever the library is installed.
Comment 2 Ryan C. Gordon 2006-02-02 02:06:03 UTC 
Huh, I get this:

checking for Cocoa framework... yes
checking for X... libraries /usr/X11R6/lib, headers


I always assumed this was just part of the Mac OS SDK, but it probably relies on installing the X11 package, which is unchecked by default in the OS (not developer tools!) install. Hmm.

--ryan.
Comment 3 Sam Lantinga 2006-03-09 10:21:00 UTC 
SDL_config.h takes care of this now. :)
