Looks neat! SDL seems open to supporting legacy platforms, so hopefully it'll get mainlined at some point (at this point, may be more likely if they port SDL3 though, SDL2 is in maintenance mode). Does anyone know if it's possible to use a new compiler for this rather than CodeWarrior 7? It would make it easier to port stuff to Mac OS 9 if you don't also have to deal with the compiler only supporting old C/C++ standards.

> compiler only supporting old C/C++ standards.

That's from back when the c++ standard was a rough suggestion. I had to use code warrior 10 for a project back in 2008ish (when standards compliance seemed to actually be picking up real steam across gcc/llvm/msvc) and it was painful how many things that were standard/supported across the other compilers that would break, we ended up basically falling back to closer to c with classes than anything that would resemble modern (at the time) c++.
