What is sdl12-compat-static
Simple DirectMedia Layer (SDL) is a cross-platform multimedia library designed to provide fast access to the graphics frame buffer and audio device. This code is a compatibility layer; it provides a static link library for programs written against SDL 1.2, but it uses SDL 2.0 behind the scenes. Note that applications that use this library will need to declare SDL2 as a dependency manually, as the library is dlopen()’d to preserve APIs between SDL-1.2 and SDL-2.0. If you are writing new code, please target SDL 2.0 directly and do not use this layer.
