If you ask me, they should actually be pulled down from there. In fact. having them available there, just makes it easier for devs to be lazy and create more non-working ports. -scottmc Ok so it would be better to remove the sdlgcc4 game library. I am totally ok with that. I just wanted some clarification.I will ask Karl to remove those librarys and ask all the game devs to rebuild and repackage on gcc2h with the optional package librarys and not with the haikuports lib's. I think I already did request this on Haikuware but I will ask again. what remains then is the status of the QT framework and the QT apps, which all BTW fall inside the haiku guidlines. the noteable exception is the QT framework which installs to boot/common/lib. the apps themselves however with one or 2 exceptions do comply and those are easily handled and repaired and or denied on a case by case basis.
