Tower of Mediocrity 1.1.1 was released yesterday. This version has a significant re-working of the build process and re-structuring of source allowing for building without any of the SDL libraries, so long as one has installed ncurses libraries. In order to effect this, it was required to build "common" header files which specified the functions and classes; the way I was building it before, the SDL libraries got pulled in even when no SDL functions were called.
I still haven't built packages for any distribution which would support Tower of Mediocrity; that is what I have planned next (if I end up doing anything). This work has, however, provided me with an example configure.ac file to work from when I need conditional configuration/compilation. Here's looking forward to Fall 2009 Challenges.
