SDL Games

SDL Development
1

Hi All,

I wanted to run some SDL games in my x86 (FC3).

I downloaded SDL-1.2.11 and run the testcases. they are running fine.Then I downloaded some games(black-box-1.4.7etc…) from sdl site. but while configuring it is giving this error:

configure: error: Your system is missing SDL_mixer! see http://www.libsdl.org/projects/SDL_mixer/

then I downloaded SDL_mixer(SDL_mixer-1.2.7 )also… even the same error is coming. I have set PREFIX, LD_LIBRARY_PATH and PKG_CONFIG_PATH to my personal folders.
In PREFIX/lib following files are present…--------------------------
libSDL-1.2.so.0
libSDL.la
libSDL_mixer-1.2.so.0.2.5
libSDL_mixer.so
libSDL-1.2.so.0.11.0
libSDLmain.a
libSDL_mixer.a
libSDL.so
libSDL.a
libSDL_mixer-1.2.so.0
libSDL_mixer.la
pkgconfig/

Why the games are not able to link with SDL_mixer if it is present in PREFIX/lib? where I am wrong?

Is SDL_mixer and SDL_image necessary to run all games in SDL.

Please suggest me some sites to download the libraries and games.

Regards,
Prasanna.

Firstly, congratulations on running a seriously old distro!

Joking aside, it’s one thing to have SDL_mixer for running games that
require it, but have you also downloaded and installed SDL_mixer-devel?
SDL_mixer will only be useful if your code is already compiled but the
devel package is essential for compiling that code.

Open up a terminal and run

rpm -qa | grep SDL

that should sell you what’s installed.On Mon, 2007-06-25 at 15:11 +0530, Prasanna Kumar K wrote:

Thank you Sir…

Now I’m able to run some SDL games.
Most of the games which I donwloaded from sdl site are getting errors(may be
they are not complete).

I have now SDL, SDL_image, SDL_image-dev, SDL_mixer, SDL_mixer-dev, SDL_net
intalled in $PREIX/lib.

Can you suggest me some other sites where I can download SDL games.

There are other sites like Tucows, CNET Download.com, etc. that also sometimes
list Linux/Open Source games.
