-   # SDL_image - easy, you need to uncompress a tar file to get the project file but then you can compile the library
-   # SDL_net - surprise! No project file for iOS; i had to take the Mac one and change targets 
-   # SDL_ttf - the above applies here as well
-   # SDL_mixer - here's where the fun begins! Besides changing targets, you need to remove unnecessary decodes from the preprocessor macros; you'll find more details about this [http://projectsymphony.blogspot.com/2009/12/how-to-compile-sdlmixer-for-iphone.html here]

+The latter one will run a script on its own, let it finish and if no errors are reported, your system is ready! If you get stuck anywhere, luckily there is a full documentation about this process on the [http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/iPhone/iPod_development  Freepascal Wiki]
