It uses SDL, SDL_mixer, SDL_image, SDL_ttf so basically a range of SDL but other than that just good old GCC. Porting to the Mac was very straightforward in the main, just a few standard tweaks then ironing out bugs with Dave.

So I'd encourage you to give it a try.

Wesnoth is fairly portable, and compiles on Windows, GNU/Linux, MacOSX, FreeBSD, and Solaris.

It does require fairly modern C++ support, and the target platform would have to support most of the ISO C++98 standard to work. (i.e. gcc 2.95 has trouble).

It does indeed use SDL.

I suggest try it and see. If there are problems, you can report them here, and I'll look into them.

Thanks for your interest!

David
