Ups, my bad. sorry about that. I first tried to bitbake mailing list
but it bounced the mail.

Long story short.

-My configuration was using ASSUME_PROVIDED += "libsdl-native".
probably because I have not changed the local.con for a long while.
-On June I posted https://patchwork.openembedded.org/patch/141112/,
which I wrongly believed that it was merged.
-Also on June Richard posted f0d128ea0dfc2c403ff53a1ac1db3521854b63d5,
that was merged


I am now building without the assume_provided and so far it is working fine.


Maybe we should remove all ASSUME_PROVIDED "libsdl-native" references
on the code?:

ricardo at neopili:/tmp/poky$ git grep ASSUME_PROV | grep sdl
documentation/ref-manual/migration.xml:     ASSUME_PROVIDED += "libsdl-native"
meta-poky/conf/local.conf.sample:# by libsdl-native then uncomment the
ASSUME_PROVIDED line below.
meta-poky/conf/local.conf.sample:#ASSUME_PROVIDED += "libsdl-native"


Best regards!
