Hi everyone!

I’ hope this is the right place for questions like this. Mods, if it’s not, please feel free to move or remove the message as needed.

I’m trying to install SDL 1.2.15 and get the following error:

Code:
libtool: compile: gcc -g -O2 -I./include -D_GNU_SOURCE=1 -fvisibility=hidden -DXTHREADS -D_REENTRANT -DHAVE_LINUX_VERSION_H -Wall -c ./src/video/x11/SDL_x11dyn.c -fPIC -DPIC -o build/.libs/SDL_x11dyn.o
./src/video/x11/SDL_x11sym.h:168:17: error: conflicting types for ???_XData32???

./src/video/x11/SDL_x11dyn.c:95:5: note: in definition of macro ???SDL_X11_SYM???

^
build-deps:1106: recipe for target ‘build/SDL_x11dyn.lo’ failed
make: *** [build/SDL_x11dyn.lo] Error 1

I’m on Linux Mint 18, on an AMD processor, and unless I missed something I have all dependencies installed.

Any assistance greatly appreciated! :slight_smile:

Make the following changes in src/video/x11/SDL_x11sym.h at around line 168

/*

  • Not required…these only exist in code in headers on some 64-bit
    platforms,
  • and are removed via macros elsewhere, so it’s safe for them to be missing.
    */
    #ifdef LONG64
    SDL_X11_MODULE(IO_32BIT)
    #if SDL_VIDEO_DRIVER_X11_CONST_PARAM_XDATA32
    SDL_X11_SYM(int,_XData32,(Display *dpy,register _Xconst long *data,unsigned
    len),(dpy,data,len),return)
    #else
    SDL_X11_SYM(int,_XData32,(Display *dpy,register long *data,unsigned len),
    (dpy,data,len),return)
    #endif
    SDL_X11_SYM(void,_XRead32,(Display *dpy,register long *data,long len),
    (dpy,data,len),)
    #endif
