newbie4ever Posted March 9, 2005 Report Share Posted March 9, 2005 I just downloaded a really neat looking game. (www.wesnoth.org) I try to compile the thing, and tells me that I need to intall the sdl libraies. I go download the sdl llibrary rpms, and it says I already have them installed (earlier .mdk versions) so what am I doing wrong? I think I have mandrake 9.1.

Artificial Intelligence Posted March 9, 2005 Report Share Posted March 9, 2005 Make sure it's the dev version of the SDLs. You need them to compile. .:=The AI Dude=:. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leezer3 Posted March 10, 2005 Report Share Posted March 10, 2005 I'm currently having this problem as well. Have tried URPMI- Standard libsdl only, and the devel rpms still tell me that they're already installed. The next step was to try & compile from source, but I am told my C++ preprocessor failed a sanity check - ?&@¬!" Annoyed and confused -Leezer- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newbie4ever Posted March 12, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2005 okay, I downloaded the source for SDL_image-1.2.4, but it won't compile. It says it is missing usr/lib/libSDL.so, I go to my usr/lib directory, and I find libSDL.so is linked to a file that does not exsist. I seem to have an earlier version of it though, but I can't seem to change the link or rename the file. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newbie4ever Posted March 12, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2005 acctually, I fixxed the missing libSDL.so problem by downloading and installing libSDL1.2-devel-1.2.7-2mdk.i586.rpm. I finnally figured out I probably have mandrake 10.0 installed here. I compiled and installed the SDL_image-1.2.4. However, the game (Battle for Wesnoth) still will not compile. It gives me the same errior *** SDL_image include files not found! I'm not sure about your insane compiler, my compiler passed the sanity check.

iphitus Posted March 12, 2005 Report Share Posted March 12, 2005 install all the libsdl-devel and theres probably rpms for the sdl_image addons. install em all through urpmi,which you can setup here: http://www.mandrakeusers.org/easyurpmi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newbie4ever Posted March 13, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2005 I managed to fix my problem with libSDL_image-devel by finding a package for mandrake 10.0, unfotunatly, when I try to install the dev version of mixer for mandrake 10.0 I get this error. Some package requested cannot be installed: libSDL_mixer1.2-devel-1.2.5-3mdk.i586 (due to unsatisfied devel(libsmpeg-0.4)) do you agree ? I considered useing the rpms from the SDL site, but if I install the devel from there then it gives me an erro message when I try to compile wesnoth. It says SDL_mixer not found. But if I were to uninstall the mandrake one then I would have to uninstall all the game rpms I have now, so I hate to do that since I might lose save games.

newbie4ever Posted March 30, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2005 I fixxed it, I installed the matching devel rpm from the SDL site. Of course the old save games don't run under the new version of wesnoth, but it isnt' like I care at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
