Description Intellectual Kitty 2017-10-04 21:28:47 UTC 
I normally build SDL using (1) ./configure, (2) make, and (3) make install.  However, the ./configure script is missing from the tip download (10-04-2017).

Also, if this is part of a planned change in the build system, the README documents have not yet been updated.  README.MacOSX still specifies the steps that I normally use (above), and grepping through the README documents indicates that the classic configure approach is mentioned in most or all of them.

When you say "tip" that means the latest commit to the whole repository, which in this case was probably to the SDL-1.2 branch. You should use "default" instead, which is the latest commit to our usual development branch.

(1.2 didn't keep the generated configure script in revision control.)
