A new version of the sdl12-compat library is now available, which serves as an SDL2 portability layer for allowing old SDL 1.2.x games and applications work on modern SDL2 systems.

This sdl12-compat library works great for better integrating classic/vintage games on modern Linux systems with Wayland and other newer software components. With today's sdl12-compat 1.2.68 release there are more games working on this portability layer, including Trine, Mark of the Ninja, and Hyperspace Delivery Boy. The SDLmm C++ bindings are also now working on this compatibility layer along with libsdl-perl. Plus there are a variety of bug fixes and other updates in this version.
