Sdl-config editing

SDL Development

See, as much as I appreciate your response, editing sdl-config doesn’t quite
cut it. Its a binary, as in, no editing. The interface is pretty stupid
too, as I can only see the librarys and such. So how do I actually add a
library? Lets say I want to add library X11, usually it would just be a -l
(dash L).

sdl-config isn’t a binary. It’s a bash script.

“sdl-config --libs -Lxll” isn’t a valid call to sdl-config. If you want
to compile your program with the SDL libraries and the X11 libraries you
want to append "sdl-config --libs -Lxll" to your call to GCC (or
whatever).

If you want sdl-config to include X11 when returing to a call for
"sdl-config --libs", open up sdl-config in a text editor and add add
that to the switch case for --libs.
