SDL_image.h.patch

Apple's gcc gives you this bit of syntactic sugar for free; if you include headers in the form:

#include <Some_Framework/some_header_file.h>

...the compiler will look in any relevant frameworks as well as the defined INCLUDE_PATH.  If the SDL_image.framework headers are modified to use this style, it requires much less tinkering on the part of developers to get the think to compile/link.

The attached patch throws in some good vibes for us Apple folk, while hopefully staying out of everyone else's way.
Comment 1 Sam Lantinga 2009-09-26 01:37:57 UTC 
This is a larger discussion about expected usage of SDL headers.
This will be evaluated with the SDL 1.3 release.
