Description Martin Gerhardy 2013-08-10 08:21:44 UTC 
The problem is that -XCClinker is unknown to gcc and thus SDL_image can't be build with jpeg support out of the box.

Talking about hg revision from 10th Aug
Comment 1 Martin Gerhardy 2013-08-10 08:23:46 UTC 
This -XCClinker flag comes from the SDL2 flags. SDL2 flags should not be needed to check for jpeg
Comment 2 Martin Gerhardy 2013-08-10 08:31:47 UTC 
btw. this -XCClinker flag is also removed for mingw64 when cross compiling from linux - see my mxe package at https://github.com/mxe/mxe/blob/master/src/sdl2.mk. The option is unknown there, too.

I've changed the component from SDL_image to SDL - because it's more of a bug of SDL itself imo.

Yeah, I'm also wondering why is this -XCClinker flag necessary. http://webtrafficgeeks.org
