The proper name of Apple's operating system is "Mac OS X" not "MacOS X", as can
bee seen in many places, for example http://www.apple.com/macosx/). This
contrasts the naming of the old operating system, which was called "MacOS" and
today is often refered to as "MacOS Classic".
The attached patches fixes the misuse of the name "MacOS X" in both the SDL12
and sdlweb CVS modules.
From the autoconf obsolete macros documentation:
Macro: AC_CANONICAL_SYSTEM
Determine the system type and set output variables to the names of the canonical system types. See section Getting the Canonical System Type, for details about the variables this macro sets.
The user is encouraged to use either AC_CANONICAL_BUILD, or AC_CANONICAL_HOST, or AC_CANONICAL_TARGET, depending on the needs. Using AC_CANONICAL_TARGET is enough to run the two other macros.
From the documentation for the canonical environments:
case $target in
i386-*-mach* | i386-*-gnu*)
obj_format=aout emulation=mach bfd_gas=yes ;;
i960-*-bout) obj_format=bout ;;
esac
Note that the above example uses $target because it's taken from a tool which can be built on some architecture ($build), run on another ($host), but yet handle data for a third architecture ($target). Such tools are usually part of a compiler suite, they generate code for a specific $target.
However $target should be meaningless for most packages. If you want to base a decision on the system where your program will be run, make sure you use the $host variable.

Subject: Re: [SDL] cvs version: standard win32 SDL.DLL file test [patch]
I found a bug or two in previous patch, so here is a patch to correct this.
From: Rob Neff
Subject: [SDL] testgl.c minor bug fix for fullscreen mode
from:
if ( strcmp(argv[1], "-fullscreen") == 0 ) {
to:
if ( strcmp(argv[i], "-fullscreen") == 0 ) {
Minor bug, but might help someone else out who is trying to pass
the command-line params -logo -fullscreen like I was! :)
if SDL is built with a non-cdecl calling convention, and it's just generally
bad practice anyhow.
Now programs explicitly call SDL_Quit() where appropriate, wrap SDL_Quit() in
a cdecl function where it can't be avoided, and rely on the parachute where
a crash might have hit the atexit() before (these ARE test programs, after
all!).
