I'm unable to compile 64-bit version of any of my projects because I do not run 64-bit. As far as compiling is concerned, it sounds like a newer version of GCC is being a little picky about its warnings - simply solution is to remove -Werror from the make file and then recompile.

I'm not a programmer, I don't know how all this works but in my humble opinion guys from SDL should take care about that bug. Maybe you could report it?

I've just got to keep in mind that it might also be a issue with my nVidia drivers. I'll look into putting in a fix, though. The performance impacts probably won't be noticeable, to be honest.

Great it compiles and works with -Werror removed!

Sound is also working great.

One thing though is there any way to change the resolution? I tried the fullscreen option but it just sticks the tiny screen in the middle of my two monitors.

Thanks!

No, sorry - the resolution is fixed at 640 x 480.
