configure: error: *** SDL not found! Get SDL from www.libsdl

Post by MSTCrow5429 »

I'm running SuSE Linux Professional 9.2, and am attempting to configure and compile Wesnoth-0.8.8. As can be seen in the subject, I am receiving the error message "configure: error: *** SDL not found! Get SDL from http://www.libsdl.org." It went on to say "If you already installed it, check it's in the path." I don't think that sentence is in English, but I made sure that SDL was actually in the path the SDL RPM stated it would be installed in. SDL was already installed on my system, but I installed 1.2.8 from libsdl.org just to be sure. Still got the configure error. Rebooted system, still getting the configure error. Can someone tell me how to get the Wesnoth configure to "see" where the SDL libraries are, and that they do indeed exist? Thanks.

After Fixing SDL Stuff

Ok, apparently not only do you need SDL, you also need the devel libs, as well as SDL Image from http://www.libsdl.org/projects/SDL_image/index.html, possibly also the devel libs of same. It compiled, seems to have installed ok, although at the opening screen seem to remember the guy's hair moving or something. Requiring SDL devel and SDL Image should be in the compile page though.
