Configuration Wesnoth 1.0.2 fails on SuSE Linux 9.3 x86_64

Post by Znarf »

Hallo Wesnoth user

I intended to upgrade my Wesnoth vesion to 1.0.2 (from 0.8...) on a Suse 9.3 platform with x86_64 architecture.
However, the configuration after unpacking the tar-file doesn´t proceed editing the following message
configure: error: *** SDL not found! Get SDL from http://www.libsdl.org.
If you already installed it, check it's in the path. If problem remains,
please send a mail to the address that appears in ./configure --version

I ckecked the required libraries and found them all installed (SDL1.2,SDL-image 1.2, SDL-mixer1.2,SDL-net and libfreetype).

Can anybody give me a hint to solve the problem??

Mark: Installation on another computer with the same platform (Suse 9.3) however with i586 architecture succeeded in few moments!

Thanks

You also need to install the associated "-dev" package for these libraries if you're building from source.

Thanks wildpenguin

I missed to install the -dev packages!! After I did all worked fine.

Thanks for the response, WildPenguin, I was getting these same errors in SUSE 10 too and it was puzzling me too. I stumbled upon your response and it worked for me to install SDL-devel, SDL_image-devel, and SDL_mixer-devel. It needed them all... but it's working :)

Thanks!

EDIT: I also had this problem with Kubuntu 6.10... I needed to install the associated dev packages.
