[quake3] Re: Questions about compile options (ioq3 on Solaris).

[vincent at cojot.name]

One more question:

ioq2 for Solaris uses SDL for sound but native OpenGL for graphics and I 
guess the same should be true for ioq3..

However, with ioq3 it is not currently possible to do this because:

- if USE_SDL is true, I get sdl_glimp.c and sdl_snd.c in Q3OBJS but no 
linux_glimp.c (#if !USE_SDL avoids the use of its code).

- if USE_SDL is false, I do get linux_glimp.c and linux_snd.c but not 
sdl_snd.c.

How could we change that so that ioq3 gets SDL sound and native OpenGL 
under Solaris? I guess we have the following possibilities:

1) patch the #ifdef's in linux_glimp.c, sdl_glimp.c, sdl_snd.c, 
linux_snd.c (Ugly).
2) split USE_SDL to USE_SDL_VIDEO and USE_SDL_SOUND..? (semi-Ugly)
3) Create a solaris_snd.c that'd be Solaris-specific (not a bad idea) and 
disable USE_SDL for Solaris..

What option do you guys/gals like better?

Thanks for reading,
