Ok...
First things first, thanks for the prompt response...

Now,

Here is some more information... Hmmm...

I am porting a game called Guns for a friend (also a member of PGD - jasonf)... using lazarus version 0.9.18 beta...

On the SDL side of things - I am using:
SDL (through JEDI-SDLv1.0b)
SDL-Image (through JEDI-SDLv1.0b)
SDL-mixer (through JEDI-SDLv1.0b)
- also - SFont (through JEDI-SDLv1.0b)

He is makeing all sorts of calls in there... loading graphics, music etc...

I hope you have seen the game because I am pretty sure this post does not qualify as more information... the truth is that my knowledge of the code base is quite ***t ops:.
