Update SDL to support OpenURL #31

Closed ChaosCoder closed 3 years ago

ChaosCoder commented 3 years ago

Currently, the sdl.mod does not support the OpenURL method (as seen here with a TODO-comment): https://github.com/bmx-ng/sdl.mod/blob/59ef1173eb026e075c3412fecd7c80ba4f74cdae/sdlsystem.mod/sdlsystem.bmx#L174-L176

Version 2.0.14 of SDL released on 21 Dec 2020 supports the SDL_OpenURL() command.

By updating the current SDL version 2.0.13 to 2.0.14 we should be able to implement the function to allow opening of links in the user's browser.

I tried it myself with my limited knowledge of the while SDL setup, as I needed that function for a project of mine, but unfortunately I didn't succeed and got stuck with linker errors. It would be great, if someone could try it.

I've updated to the latest libSDL. Can you check if it is working for you now?

Thank you so much! I had to fix just a couple of lines to include stuff needed on macOS. See #32 I will close this issue now.
