I’m installing SDL_image-1.2.3 from source on a Win98SE system using MSYS.
I’ve already installed the JPEG, PNG, and Zlib libraries from source using
MSYS; libjpeg.a, libpng.a, and libz.a all appear in the /usr/local/lib
directory. libSDL_image.a and SDL_image.dll are created in the
/usr/local/lib directory, but apparently do not include JPEG and PNG
support, which is a serious deficiency in my mind.
What am I missing? Output from ./configure is below. Any assistance is
appreciated. Thanks.

Try removing the file config.cache, and re-run configure. If you ran configure before installing jpeg/z/png, it caches the results of those library checks into the config.cache file so if you run configure again it goes faster. (At least I think that’s the reason, though it seems kinda silly to me :). You can tell this is happening by the fact that “(cached)” appears in the line “checking for…”. So just remove that file, configure, compile/install, and hopefully it’ll work!

Just as I was about to declare victory -----
Deleting config.cache worked exactly as you predicted. Yes, I did run
configure before installing jpeg/z/png. And thanks for the brief tutorial
on how to read the ./configure output. Good info.
But there is still a problem. I was able to complete the SDL_image build,
but I found that the sample program, showimage, was not displaying jpgs.
Gifs, bmps, pcxs worked fine, but no jpgs (I didn’t try pngs). So I try to
reinstall the jpeg libraries and build SDL_image again. I run ‘make
distclean’ and make sure config-cache is not present. ./configure
completes, and the jpeg/z/png libraries are found (right?). But when I run
make, the compilation of IMG_jpg.c fails with “jpeglib.h: No such file or
directory.” The jpeg/z/png header files are in /usr/local/include and the
libraries are in /usr/local/lib, but the compiler doesn’t see them. I can’t
figure out what’s different about then and now.
The configure and make output are below.
Thanks for the help!

Mmm, actually it seems MSys is configured to only look at mingw/include
by default, and /usr/local/include is not taken into account, unless
explicitely specified as sdl-config does. So you have to move all the
’.h’ in mingw/include (and the .a in mingw/lib), unless somebody has
another suggestion :/–
