SDL Problem with MDK 9.2

[kittykat]

I tried compiling from the source but I get the following error to ./configure:

[root@localhost wesnoth-0.6.1]# exit

However a check with RPMDrake reveals that I have the following SDL files installed:

libSDL_gfx8-2.0.8-1mdk
libSDL_image1.2-1.2.3-3mdk
libSDL_mixer1.2-1.2.5-3mdk
libSDL_net1.2-1.2.5-2mdk
libSDL_ttf2.0-2.0.6-3mdk
perl-SDL-1.20.0-6mdk

How can I get this to compile properly?

System:

MDK 9.2
Athlon TBird 1GHz
1Gb RAM
NVidia GF420MX
SB 16
etc...

Thanks

It seems to me that you don't have SDL installed. These names looks like names of various additions to core SDL library. Have you tried to install something like libSDL_1.2-... ?

Anyway, it's queer if you have installed only parts of SDL.

But I am not Mandrake expert.

You must have SDL development libraries installed to compile from source. It seems that although you have the libraries installed, you don't have the development libraries installed (i.e. SDL-devel as well as SDL, etc).

I do have SDL installed, it just didn't get included in the paste.

libSDL1.2-1.2.5-12mdk

[kittykat]

I installed

libSDL1.2-devel-1.2.5-12mdk

and still no luck

Here you can see that for about every SDL RPM-package there is also devel RPM package:

http://rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/searc ... rake&arch=

Or you can just get the Wesnoth Mandrake RPMS:

http://rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/searc ... mit=Search+...

Thanks! the rpm works good.

[ziberpunk]

I installed

libSDL1.2-devel-1.2.5-12mdk

and still no luck

With this package installed you get exactly the same error, or another one?
