Ubuntu 16.04 would provide better distro compatibility, but we need SDL
in version 2.0.5 or newer to enable resizable window support on Linux.
Pretty soon Ubuntu 20.04 LTS will be released, so targetting previous
LTS release should be enough.
Problem with libpng12/libpng16 strikes again - Steam Runtime is missing
libpng16, so users who want to test dosbox-staging via Steam are not
able to start it.
This is the only library, that needs to be disabled - all other
dependencies are included in Steam Runtime and work fine.
With SDL2 in place, the silent dependency on libpng12 on Ubuntu 16.04 is
now gone. Unfortunately, development packages for libpng16 are named
differently for Ubuntu 16.04 and 18.04, so we can't add new package to
the global list.
Name 'visualc_net' invokes old names for Visual Studio
(Visual Studio .NET 2002 or 2003), which has no relation to content of
this subdirectory.
Also, by renaming this directory we mitigate chance, that during
merge-in from svn/trunk git will automatically inject some values from
from upstream, incompatible version of solution files. By sheer
luck this might happen without causing a conflict. Never happened so
far, but there's no point in risking it.
It seems like GitHub badges have some caching issues and they do not
work correctly (I have them showing two contradictory statuses,
depending on tab, no matter if I reload page or not).
This badge is useful link straight to the Coverity report, but Coverity
decides to present the scan results in quite misleading way - mixing
runs from master with runs from other branches.
It's better to show no info at all than to show misleading info.
Link to Coverity scan is accessible in README.md, as a reference [3] in
the comparison table.
Previous glyph (Five Spoked Asterisk) looks great on Linux, but as it
turns out seems to be broken everywhere else. Use this opportunity to
point out, that SDL 1.2 in general is not being developed any more.
Also, make a correction:
"DOSBox does indicate support" -> "does not"
Information in comparison table is based on developer testing on Linux
and user reports on Windows.
Remove VS-related info from INSTALL file instead of duplicating it in
README.md.
