Detecting sdl

SDL Development
1

using AC_CHECK_LIB (SDL, SDL_Init…

this always fails to detect SDL???

I am curious as to why, especially since the autoconf CHECK_LIB
function successfully detects the SDL_image and SDL_mixer libraries.

comments? suggestions anyone?__________________________________________________

Thanks Sebastian,

You told what I needed (where to look to troubleshoot). I looked in
config.log and it was obvious! I needed to set the next parameter LIBS
in CHECK_LIB correctly (it wasn’t finding the pthread stuff)
please excuse me I’m a real autobook newbie!
