-lSDL error - tomtolleson - 2008-05-15
Hi! I'm trying to compile XBMC on Gutsy Gibbon and I'm getting the following error:
checking for main in -lSDL... no
checking for main in -lSDL_image... no
configure: error: == Could not find a required library. Please see README.linux
I couldn't find lSDL in synaptic package manager or in README.linux
Does anyone have any information regarding this?
Thanks!
Tom

-l = link to library
-lSDL = link to the sdl library
i.e. you need to read README.linux a bit more carefully and make sure to run the apt-get line listed for gusty
