Hi, is this still needed with the new SDL2 2.0.4?

Yup, since SDL upstream follows LTS, soo cant merge my changes until 16.04 (though i should poke them to check :)

Current branch:
https://code.launchpad.net/~brandontschaefer/+junk/SDL2-new-mir-ABI

Which Ill be making a patch once 2.0.4 gets synced with ubuntu!

Hi, since I did the sync of sdl 2.0.4, I'm proposing a tweak of your patch against the new release.

Problem:
2.0.4 didn't have MIR enabled, because the sync dropped the rules part when it had been forcibly enabled.
so it got syncd and built wrongly.

the root of the cause was a bad configure.ac script, checking for a removed API.
"MirMotionToolType tool = mir_motion_tool_type_mouse;"

solution: I took your patch, rebased on top of the new 2.0.4 in xenial, and attached to this message.

With your blessing I can upload (after updating the changelog timestamp of course)
(note: I also dropped a little part of the patch, because you were changing the copyright year, but it was already changed in the new release)

do you prefer to have MIR disabled, this patch applied and uploaded or whatever?
(sorry for the troubles I have caused)
