Hi everyone!

I' hope this is the right place for questions like this. Mods, if it's not, please feel free to move or remove the message as needed.

I'm trying to install SDL 1.2.15 and get the following error:

Code:
libtool: compile:  gcc -g -O2 -I./include -D_GNU_SOURCE=1 -fvisibility=hidden -DXTHREADS -D_REENTRANT -DHAVE_LINUX_VERSION_H -Wall -c ./src/video/x11/SDL_x11dyn.c  -fPIC -DPIC -o build/.libs/SDL_x11dyn.o

I'm on Linux Mint 18, on an AMD processor, and unless I missed something I have all dependencies installed.

Any assistance greatly appreciated! Smile
