‘debian & SDL’

http://www.upubuntu.com/2012/01/how-to-install-sdl-12-simple.html

SDL (Simple DirectMedia Layer) is a multi-platform multimedia library used by many app/game developers in creating emulators, games, MPEG playback software, etc. Also, when installing some games or software requiring SDL under Ubuntu, you may get these errors while compiling them:

configure: error: * SDL version 1.2.0 not found! **

configure: error: * SDL_image library not found! **

configure: error: * SDL_mixer library not found!**

configure: error: * SDL_net library not found!**

As this library is written in C++, you need to install first compiling packages under Ubuntu with this command:

sudo apt-get install build-essential

Now follow all these steps to install SDL 1.2 and its related libraries:

1. SDL Installation

To install latest version of SDL (1.2, SDL 1.3 is still under development), run this sequence of commands from the terminal:

wget -O SDL-1.2.14.tar.gz http://goo.gl/ByL0B

**

**

tar -xzvf SDL-1.2.14.tar.gz -C ~/ && cd SDL-1.2.14

**

**

**./configure && **make

**

**

sudo make install

2. SDL_image 1.2 Installation

Via the terminal, run the following commands:

wget -O SDL_image-1.2.11.tar.gz http://goo.gl/98zi6

**

**

tar -xzvf SDL_image-1.2.11.tar.gz -C ~/ && cd SDL_image-1.2.11

**

**

**./configure && **make

**

**

sudo make install

3. SDL_mixer 1.2 Installation

Run the following commands:

wget -O SDL_mixer-1.2.12.tar.gz http://goo.gl/o0GIX

**

**

tar -xzvf SDL_mixer-1.2.12.tar.gz -C ~/ && cd SDL_mixer-1.2.12

**

**

**./configure && **make

**

**

sudo make install

4. SDL_net 1.2 Installation

Issue these commands:

wget -O SDL_net-1.2.8.tar.gz http://goo.gl/AQuv5

**

**

tar -xzvf SDL_net-1.2.8.tar.gz -C ~/ && cd SDL_net-1.2.8

**

**

**./configure && **make

**

**

sudo make install

The SDL library is now compiled and installed on your system. Tested under Ubuntu 11.10/11.04.

That’s it!
