It's a kludge, that's for sure. GLUT has a more sane approach to it.
SDL has some other evil uses of macros in the headers, as well...


As I wrote somewhere else, one alternative is using the Carbon version for Mac OS X which is easier to initialize since it is using C and not Objecive-C like the Cocoa version. And I guess you also have the X11 ?

In the end, rewriting all macros is probably the most likely to work.
I'm doing the same thing for the "require_" macros that Apple uses...
(expanding the macro for all the ugly ONERRORGOTO that it really is)


I really, really should bundle a new packaged version of SDL and GL.

--anders

Yes but creating a library depending on X11 is probable even worse. X11
is great for porting but new code probably should not use it. or?

That would bee appreciated.
