Can't compile - missing SDL_image.h

SDL Development
1

I am running Slackware 9.0 w/ 2.4.22 kernel. I compiled and installed
SDL 1.2.6 using ./configure, make, and make install. There were no
errors. I am trying to compile the Demeter Terrain Engine package,
version 3.21. One of the files (SDLTextureLoader.cpp) is including
<SDL_image.h>. I’ve searched for it, and it doesn’t exist anywhere on
my drive. Is this a newer version that has done away with the
SDL_image.h file? Please help.

Thanks,
Alan

hey Alan,

You have to download/install sdl_image, it’s an add on library to sdl which
is used to load images (duh right?).

you can get it from here (i got this link by going to the sdl page, clicking
"libraries" and searching for sdl_image):

http://www.libsdl.org/projects/SDL_image/

PS its nice to see one of the few people who knows how to spell Alan the
right way (;> ----- Original Message -----
