The SDL forums have moved to discourse.libsdl.org.
This is just a read-only archive of the previous forums, to keep old links working.

I am compiling from src (Lincity-NG) in windows 7 and MinGW. I am sure I have installed all the libs and dependencies. As it './configure's and compiles (partially). Just a side note - I have lincity compiling in linux (ubuntu VM). So I have something to compare against.


Currently I dont understand :


1) SDL.h ( or others) are not found. I have all the includes correctly. I am attaching the configure output


http://pastebin.com/PcuKQRrW


and the jam build step 


http://pastebin.com/nxKm7axG -- (Part 1) - Some parts skipped - I dont why - mkdir sometimes doesnt work correctly.  Around line 150.


        mkdir -p "./build/i686-pc-mingw32/optimize/src/gui\PainterGL"
 
    ...failed MkDir1 ./build/i686-pc-mingw32/optimize/src/gui\PainterGL ...

http://pastebin.com/z7L2ffbK -- (part 2) -- Where it shows SDL.h: no such file or directory. I think its not in the pastebin file (didnt print). 


Here is the screen shot - http://i1268.photobucket.com/albums/jj568/amitahire/sdl-h-nada.png


I had a hard time installing SDL_mixer and PhysicsFS(oh the nightmares!) - but finally did it. And I searched on Google for SDL not found issues (they are a lot) -

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10488775/sdl-h-no-such-file-or-directory-found-when-compiling


 also implemented them (including the path even though it was correct) - But still nada. Hence I turn to you guidance. ( I added the extra include and sdl.h is present there - Have them at 2 places <not recommended I suppose> but also tried with they being in one place.)


    $ sdl-config --cflags
    -I/usr/local/include/SDL -D_GNU_SOURCE=1 -Dmain=SDL_main -D_REENTRANT -I/usr/include/SDL


    $ sdl-config --libs
    -L/usr/local/lib -lmingw32 -lSDLmain -lSDL -mwindows


2) Also it doesn't seem to compile and runthe included xmlgettext tool.  


    ...failed C++ ./build/i686-pc-mingw32/optimize/src/tools/xmlgettext\main.o ...
    ...skipped xmlgettext.exe for lack of <T!src!tools!xmlgettext!>main.o...
    ...skipped <T!data!>locale/gui\messages.pot for lack of xmlgettext.exe...
    XGetText actions too long (max 2046)!




Can anyone help or guess what I am doing wrong here? I am pretty sure I got all the libs installed, linked and included. I am also including the configure output (http://pastebin.com/Y86nZg3k) and jam build output(http://pastebin.com/NegG8794) from my linux compilation which works perfectly. Any help or pointer will be appreciated. Thanks.


**UPDATE**


I checked again everything and all the paths - I am quite
sure they are alright - But it still gives the same "SDL.h no such file"
error. In order make sure that I got the installation correct. I took a
simple SDL application off the net and compiled it and its WORKS!! So
at least paths are correct. I used the following command to compile the
test application.


    g++ -c test.c `sdl-config --cflags`
    g++ -o test test.o 'sdl-config --libs`
    ./test

What version of SDL are you using?  It looks like it's finding a mix of SDL 1.2 and SDL 2.0 libraries.

Try using sdl2-config rather than sdl-config.

I am quite sure I didnt mix them up. sdl2-config doesnt work.

^ From that, it looks like it's finding SDL_ttf and SDL_gfx built against SDL 2 (unless I'm just interpreting that wrong).

No I think they are correct. SDL_ttf and SDL_gfx  (2.x) are the lib version and they are dependent on SDL 1.2 (http://www.libsdl.org/projects/SDL_ttf/)

FYI - SDL_gfx (2.0.24) is the SDL 1.2 version, SDL2_gfx (1.0.0) is the SDL 2.0 version.
