SDL-Config ?

[anton]

Hello,

I wanted to install avi-xmms plug-in , it needed SDL >=1.1.6 , so I installed 1.1.7 , but it didn't install sdl-config , where avi-xmms gets the version of SDL , where can I get sdl-config ? or how can I get around checking SDL via avi-xmms ?

Thanks,
bye.

Can't remeber exaclty,it's been some time when i've installed SDL stuff but sdl-config should be installed in --prefix=/where-sdl-wa-installed,by default /usr/local/bin i belive.When ou configure the plugin there should be an option to point the ./configure script to location of sdl-config.Hope this helps.

But SDL package didn't even had sdl-config in it ;(

Mikenell : I'm using Mandrake 7.2

Oh well, dunno what you can do there, if you were using debian, or debian based, you could apt-get install libsdl.

Just asked on #sdl to make sure and was told that sdl-config is generated by ./configure script from sdl-1.1.7 source but that does not mean it's in your current path...

I went ahead and compiled the said source and indeed the sdl-config can be found in top source directory and upon install i have it in /usr/bin...Make sure the directory where you installed SDL is in your path.Hope this helps again.
