SDL-1.2.5 requires SDL-1.2.3

Hi

I was downloading and building SDL 1.2.5 whileas the configure-script informed me, that SDL 1.2.3 must be installed to build 1.2.5 :
[FreeBSD 4.6-RELEASE i386; http://www.libsdl.org/release/SDL-1.2.5.tar.gz]

./configure
…
checking for sdl-config… no
checking for SDL - version >= 1.2.3… no
*** The sdl-config script installed by SDL could not be found
*** If SDL was installed in PREFIX, make sure PREFIX/bin is in
*** your path, or set the SDL_CONFIG environment variable to the
*** full path to sdl-config.
configure: error: *** SDL version 1.2.3 not found!

I wonder if it’s correct, that er prior version is needed to build SDL.

regards, Robert

Are you sure this is ./configure from SDL directory, and not from "tests"
subdirectory?On Sun, Jan 05, 2003 at 03:09:13AM +0000, Robert Altschaffel wrote:

Hi

hrm…I was quite sure, that i was in the right directory (should get more caffeine - or less) :wink:
However grep “SDL - version” /usr/src/SDL-1.2.5/config.log showed me, that I was wrong whileas
the same on the same procedure on the test-directory outputed me the configure-error.

sorry, my fault :wink:
