Thank you for the link, but if I would have had enough knowledge about GNU makefiles and scripts syntax perhaps I would have had compiled SDL with DJGPP until now. Sadly now it's too late to learn the syntax, I have neither the time nor the interest. Last year, when I tried to build Mplayer with pthreads enabled IIRC I found that link, but the information wasn't enough in order to successfully compile FSU pthreads with the DJGPP package I have installed (which usually contains the latest ports of GNU tools).
Edit: I've remembered that the principal problem was that FSU pthreads assumes DJGPP lacks some functions which now it have, so it was a complete mess with the defines and header files. Anyway, if I would really need a FSU pthreads compilable with the actual DJGPP package, I would ask Michael Kostylev for the patches.
