 be a separate tracker item?
 
 3) After that is working we will probably still need to modify compiler flags
 to correctly use the frameworks.

- you are modifying sdl.m4 that is linux dependant
- you oblige linux developers to check why sdl.m4 has been modifyied
- since diff is line check tools very tough thing

this m4 file is from sound.m4
supposing DARWIN macro exist

if test x$DARWIN = xyes; then
would be more appropriate for inclusion of the specific m4 file,
like sdl-darwin.m4
 very not sure of the
SDL_LIBS=-L$fw_loc -lSDL -lpthread
we should have pthread.m4 to test if we have
that it is, go crazy freeciv developers
from warciv developer
continue color changes

Follow-up Comment #10, bug #18228 (project freeciv):

After *way* too long, i think i'm closing in on a possible fix.  First off:
gnu automake has no responsibility for AM_PATH_SDL, that actually comes from
libSDL project.  Sam Lantinga said he would take a patch to sdl.m4 but i'm
clueless as to how exactly to modify it to do what i want to try.  We might
end up patching something else instead, but i don't have enough background to
suggest where that might be.

Will somebody please explain to me how m4/sdl.m4 and sdl-client.m4 really
work?  There's not much useful comments to these.  Anyway, my pseudocode looks
like this:

IF exists /Library/Frameworks/SDL.framework/Versions
 THEN {
 -I = /Library/Frameworks/SDL.framework/Versions/A/Headers/
-L = /Library/Frameworks/SDL.framework/Versions/A/SDL
 }
 
IF exists ~/Library/Frameworks/SDL.framework/Versions
 THEN {
 -I = ~/Library/Frameworks/SDL.framework/Versions/A/Headers/
-L = ~/Library/Frameworks/SDL.framework/Versions/A/SDL
 }

It's entirely possible that a Mac might have frameworks in both places, in
which case the one in HOME should probably take priority.  I have seen a
framework coexisting with unixey dylibs, in which case we can give priority to
the dylib - this is already well covered by our existing processes.

Stalled since David never answered to latest question (this was getting quite

Follow-up Comment #7, bug #18228 (project freeciv):

This has a release target of 2.4.0, but I see no evidence of regression
compared to S2_3, so since this hasn't moved for a year, I plan to remove that
target.

Follow-up Comment #5, bug #18228 (project freeciv):

Could you report this to automake, David? They may want to improve
AM_PATH_SDL to handle Mac OS framework installations. That would be better
than us handling it specifically in freeciv configure since then all packages
using AM_PATH_SDL would benefit, not just freeciv.

In addition to main SDL, freeciv sdl-client depends also on SDL_image. There
is separate configure check for it (not part of AM_PATH_SDL). Does your SDL
framework include it, or is it something you have to install separately, and
how?

Follow-up Comment #6, bug #18228 (project freeciv):

Could you report this to automake, David?  Will do.  What are the keywords
i should use [you can put some words in my mouth for this one]?

Does your SDL framework include it, or is it something you have to install
separately, and how?  SDL_image is a separate package from a separate site -
i don't even think the same people are involved.  However, that download also
gives a naked framework.

Follow-up Comment #2, bug #18228 (project freeciv):

I've attached the log, and [for completeness] the result of ls -R 
framework-listing.txt /Library/Frameworks/SDL.framework.  FWIW, the wiki at
libsdl.org has this to say:

When installed as a Framework, all SDL files (the library and the header
files) are aggregated into a .framework bundle, and installed together into
/Library/Frameworks/ or ~/Library/Frameworks/. There, Xcode can find it. But
packages which want to use SDL but employ a UNIX style build system are
usually not able to find SDL there (there are a few exceptions where people
hand modified their configure scripts to allow using Frameworks on OSX, but
those are rare).

Follow-up Comment #3, bug #18228 (project freeciv):

Yes, we are not even implementing sdl-check ourselves, but depend on macro
AM_PATH_SDL that is part of automake. It in turn depends on sdl-config
-program of sdl. Config.log shows that sdl-config is not found. Can you check
if it's somewhere in your system, or does Framework-style install of sdl
completely lack it?

Follow-up Comment #4, bug #18228 (project freeciv):

The OSX binary image of SDL doesn't even have an install script.  It is
simply the framework for dragging and dropping, along with some explanatory
text.  I see that it contains SDL_config headers [amongst the rest], and more
of those mysterious .nib files.

Follow-up Comment #1:

To get started with this I'd like someone with such a system to try to
configure with --enable-client=sdl and to send error message it produces and
config.log-file generated from that configure run.
