Description Max Horn 2009-10-20 15:53:16 UTC 
Just got a bug report by a user of my Fink package for SDL reporting that SDL 1.2.14 does not build on on Mac OS X 10.5/x84_64.

Looking at it, it seems that in revision 4860 a change was made that was meant to fix building on 32bit (and which partially reverted a change made before to fix building on 64bit) seems to be the cause. Specifically, this one:

  <http://www.libsdl.org/cgi/viewvc.cgi/trunk/SDL/src/cpuinfo/SDL_cpuinfo.c?r1=4847&r2=4860>


This is the build error:

Comment 1 Sam Lantinga 2009-10-20 21:45:08 UTC 
Interesting, it appears to work fine in GCC 4.2, perhaps it's a bug that's since been fixed?
Comment 2 Max Horn 2009-10-20 23:53:39 UTC 
Sam, I can confirm that it works with GCC 4.2. As such, I guess this can be considered "false alarm" resp. "bug in compiler".

Closing this, then :).

Thanks!
