No sdl-config in osx?

SDL Development
1

A friend of mine was fooling around trying to build Tux Paint for Mac OS X,
and went and grabbed the SDL packages off libsdl.org

When he went to compile Tux Paint, it couldn’t find sdl-config.

Does OSX not come with that for some reason?
(He grabbed both SDL and SDL-devel packages, of course)

Any suggestions for him?

Thx!

Bill, I found it was just a $PATH problem on my own setup when I
compiled SDL. Maybe it’s the same for the real packages…–

The MacOS X packages are Project Builder frameworks, not shared libraries.
You can build SDL from source “The UNIX Way ™” and it will do what you
expect, you’ll just have to include the SDL shared library with your app.
