SSL configure problem

Hi
I’m running slackware current with the 2.4.2 kernel, and gcc version
2.95. I downloaded a version of doom called lsdldoom-1.4.4.4.tar.gz.
When I ran the configure script, it told me that it couldn’t find SDL,
so I downloaded SDL-1.0.8.tar.gz and SDL-1.1.5.tar.gz which compiled
perfectly when I had the 2.2.16 kernel, but now neither of them get past

the configure script. The error message is:

configure: error: Unsupported target: Please add to configure.in

I’ve never gotten this error message before. The configure script
specifies the target as:

target=NONE

just like all the other configure scripts i’ve run without any problems.

The included documentation isn t of any help, and neither is the SDL
website, and SDL is necessary for multimedia software. Could it be some
envoronment variable that has to be set?

configure: error: Unsupported target: Please add to configure.in

the SDL configure script is a crude hack waiting for someone to clean it
up - it has explicit tests for different platforms and defines various
things accordingly, something rather contrary to the idea behind
autoconf. Someone should rewrite it to test for features rather than
platforms and remove as much platform-specific code from configure.in
as possible but I suppose it’s not worth a rewrite for SDL 1.2.x

I’ve never gotten this error message before. The configure script
specifies the target as:

target=NONE

which is very odd. can you check just why it thinks that? shouldn’t you
get “i386-gnu-linux” or something similar?

Megathanx Mattias, I used pentium-gnu-linux, and it worked.
