Description elboato 2010-02-11 16:12:42 UTC 
I already posted this in forums before: http://forums.libsdl.org/viewtopic.php?t=5804

Now I installed the most recent XCode build tools and the problem still exists. I suppose it should be possible to build SDL 1.3 on a MacOS 10.4, so I guess this is a bug.... :'(

to be exact: the most recent ones available for MacOS X 10.4

I can reproduce this, and I think I know how to fix it.

The configure script was breaking the substitutions into multiple fragments, breaking them across the substitution for the build rules.  This of course totally hosed the process.

I switched to using a more modern usage of AC_OUTPUT and added a post-process step that appends the build rules to the Makefile.
