In this comment, user “illume” seems to indicate that Pygame 1.9.2 will build with “new SDL”. Hoping that “new SDL” meant SDL 1.3, I downloaded, compiled and installed SDL 1.3’s source, then downloaded Pygame 1.9.2’s source via hg and attempted to install, but I get the error messages detailed here. Am I wrong in my interpretation of illume’s comment as indicating that Pygame 1.9.2 will build with SDL 1.3, or is there something I can do to make this work?

    I see no mention of SDL 1.3/2.0 there. “new SDL” might be referring to the 1.2.15 release in January.

    Among other things they removed the CD-ROM API in SDL 2.0. You can see evidence of that at the bottom of your gist.

    You’ll have to remove or stub out that functionality in pygame.
