Update macOS build?
Opened this issue · 0 comments
It looks like installing SDL via homebrew with --HEAD should probably produce a working version even build with the current SDK -- the old SDK workaround should no longer be necessary. This is because a likely patch for the blank screen issue has been upstreamed into the SDL repository (though it's not incorporated into a release version).
Is this a better approach now? If so, we should probably update to make that the default.
One possible shortcoming is that --HEAD may introduce other new bugs, and it's not clear there will be an easy way to fix those without a new SDL 1.2 release, or without homebrew's 1.2 formula creating their own "semi-stable" release or something, which I have no idea if is something they'd consider.
