One question, did you compile the others from source? I think I’ve gotten
that message before when I forgot the compiler.or make.

Hello,
I am attempting to build a game that uses SDL (including SDL_Mixer,
SDL_net and SDL_ttf). My development environment is cygwin. My goal is
to
improve the AI of the game so I simply need it to compile and run. I am
willing to do the work of using the source to build the libraries. I have
had no problems with SDL itself and SDL_net. I need to get freetype
installed to make SDL_ttf work. I ran into an error message that does not
make sense while attempting to get SDL_Mixer to compile. This lead me to
this conversation on the list. The error states that the C compiler
cannot create executables
. This is obviously not true. Here is what I
did and the response I got:

If you want the latest and greatest
from SDL and its helper libs, compile everything from Source.

If the latest stable version is enough use Packages.

SDL_Mixer has deps for OGG and SMPEG.

Newer versions from SDL_mixer also support checking
and dynamic loading if there is OGG and SMPEG
available on the system.
