The SDL Sopwith project is a software port that brings the classic flying game Sopwith to modern platforms using the SDL library.
The SDL Sopwith project is a port of the classic flying game Sopwith that has been modernised to function with contemporary operating systems and toolkits. Originally designed to run on the LibSDL toolkit, there is now also a GTK+ version available.
With SDL Sopwith, users can expect a modern native application that can run under a wide range of operating systems including Windows, GNU/Linux, BeOS, and others that are supported by LibSDL. This port also boasts working sound that emulates the PC speaker through the sound card output as well as working multiplayer capabilities.

Specifically, it fixes compilation errors due to an error in swinit.c and addresses issues with networking that were present in earlier versions. Overall, SDL Sopwith is a solid port that provides a fun and modernised version of the classic game.
