[mythtv-users] Temporary but effective MinGW solution for SDL compilation

[David William Eckert]

Hi, this might be off-topic in general but I've noticed there was a 
problem linking SDL libraries necessary to build MythTV and I know that 
MythTV's wiki also has this exact problem listed, I found a temporary 
solution to this so I joined today to provide whoever is in-charge of 
the wiki in question.

The problem appears to be related to libtool trying to link version.o 
which is a compiled win32 resource file, I found that simply removing 
that portion of it in the generated Makefile causes the compilation 
process to complete successfully, anyways I hope this information will 
be helpful for whomever is interested in building SDL or even MythTV 
with SDL libraries.

Makefile portion: $(objects)/version.o
