Careful: I tested the lib32 variant of this with UT99, and while a lot of the game works, some parts aren't exactly great (e.g. crash on Alt+Tab and mouse look is bounded by the mouse reaching the screen border; didn't try a lot of gaming due to that). You're probably better off with the full sdl 1.2!

@archi42 Could you please update the source link to “git+https://github.com/libsdl-org/sdl12-compat

Thank you for this package. This is a really cool alternative when a program you like hasn’t updated to sdl2 yet. Freesynd and uhexen2 come to mind.

I highly recommend the UT469 patch to play UT.

Can you change

provides=('sdl')

to something like

provides=('sdl=<version>')?

sdl_mixer and sdl_image for example do depend on sdl>=1.2.12 and sdl>=1.2.13, respectively.

Thanks, somehow forgot it for the non-lib32 package.

Seems like a dependency is missing. From lib32-sdl2_compat12-git: mercurial (mercurial-hg, mercurial-stable-hg, python-mercurial, mercurial-python3) (make)
