Hi I package pygame for Fedora and I have a 64-bit patch against the 1.7.1 release located here:
http://cvs.fedora.redhat.com/viewcvs/*checkout*/devel/pygame/pygame-1.7.1-64bit.patch?root=extras&rev=1.1 I don't know if this patch is technically correct, but it allows pygame to compile on a 64bit system under Fedora Linux. If not done already, can this patch be added before the 1.8.0 release? Also, under Fedora, we cannot allow ffmpeg to be compiled into pygame due to patent reasons or something, so I have to configure it without ffmpeg. This causes a problem because the configure script prompts the user if it is okay that this package is missing. In the Fedora build system, there is no way for a user to respond to prompts so I had to resort to patching the confirm(message) function within config_unix.py to just return 1; Would it be possible to allow some kind of switch to automatically respond yes to any prompt? It looks like the windows configure script has this ability, but it is not present on the Linux side. Thanks!
