SDL_GetEnv.h not in Mecurial Repository

SDL Development
1

I was trying to compile the latest SDL_mixer against the latest SDL, both
from the Mecurial repositories.

SDL_mixer complains about not finding SDL_getenv.h

When I search the files in SDL I do find SDL_getenv.c in SDL\src\stdlib, but
there is no .h file.

Can the person responsible for either SDL or SDL_mixer please fix this
dependency. Either the file is needed and should be added to SDL, or the
file is no longer needed by SDL_mixer and the #include should be removed
from effects_internal.c

Thanks,

Ken Rogoway

Well, not really. I compiled SDL a few days ago on Mac OS X so I know… It should be the same for Linux. I don’t know for Windows though.
These headers are required, but they are generated at compile-time. You need to have Mercurial installed.
You also need the following in your .bashrc file (in your home directory):
export PATH="$PATH:/usr/local/bin"

When you have Mercurial and that string in your .bashrc file, try recompiling and it should work.

Well, this is for Mac and Linux, but I don’t know for Windows.On June 5, 2010, at 1:20:16.00, Ken Rogoway wrote:

There is no bash in Windows (yes, I know I can install it, but we have never
needed to do the steps you list above).

I have Mercurial installed. The VisualC.html says nothing other than load
the .sln and compile. This has worked for previous versions of SDL and
SDL_mixer for MANY years.

Sam, how is this handled now for Windows Visual C builds?

This is fixed in the repository, thanks!

You can just delete the line, it’s not necessary anymore. :)On Fri, Jun 4, 2010 at 2:20 PM, Ken Rogoway wrote:
