Well, when you link in libverse.a, you'll also need to provide the libs
that verse is dependent upon, like SDL etc.

Yes, I needed to tweak the sources quite a bit, but it was a few months ago,
so I'm not sure what it was, but it felt mainly like updates that wasn't

Ah, nice info. Noticed they were there, but haven't made the switch, since I'm
not currently using verse in any application..

Might check into my sources to see what I did for changes tomorrow if there's any
interest left in that branch.. ?
