SDL+Linux non root mode

Hello, it is my first post to the SDL mailing list.
Here is my situation:

I am trying to download/install SDL libraries on Linux. The issue I have is
that I CAN NOT get root access so I need to install everything on my home
directory.

Now, I downloaded the last SDL sources, and I already run ./configure & make
succesfully. Now, when running “make install” it does throw an error (can
not create libSDL…a file, permission denied) because I do not have
permission to write to the /usr/lib directory.

What I would like to know is what file/line should I modify in order to copy
the lib and include files to some place on my /home dir (like /home/omar/lib
and /home/omar/include).

What I plan to do is to include the .h files and link the lib files using
gcc,

I think it is possible but I am not 100%, can anybody help me??

Thank you!

Omar.–

Sorry to post to myself, I have found the ansower (dumb me…) it was just
the prefix option in the configure file =oS.

Anyway, thank you!On 9/6/05, Omar Baqueiro <@Omar_Baqueiro> wrote:
