I'm more inclined to leave the current behavior, and when SDL 1.3
finally rolls around, try a fresh start then since we'll most likely
need a new script for that anyway.



Yes, that's ok with me.

So I need more details about how CMake does this. I don't understand
how CMake determines which ones to nag you about. The nags I get are
different than yours.


I can't give you the explanation about it. Do you know someone
who could explain it to us?

And what about calling that variable SDL_LIBRARY_DIR (with
for example the value "c:\My project\lib") and deducing from
that all the other variables.



No, deduction can fail. There may be a case where SDLmain and SDL are
located in different directories. There is also the case that the
libraries are not named what we expect. Thus, each one requires their
own field to handle these cases, as they do now. And this is the
reason for the complexity.


Well, I leave it to you, as long as, once all the "required" variables are
set,
things compile.
