Hey Mike,

As pointed out already there's no "automatic link" between SDL and libosso; you have to manually link in libosso to your app and initialize/call it as you need it. As already mentioned you can make libosso calls without having to use glib, but don't expect to be able to use any dbus/interprocess stuff as it will not work.

Although I use Glib mainloops in my SDL apps (I rely on DBus heavily), you can get away with just doing your libosso initialization as part of your main SDL setup; just remember to close it again when your app exists.
