SDL 1.2 needed to install program

tsunamikitsune · 06-23-2006, 01:59 AM

I'm trying to install ZSNES (a Super Nintendo emulator) and I ran into some problems....

These are the commands I was supposed to use from the ZSNES website:

Code:

sudo apt-get install build-essential nasm autoconf automake libsd1.2-dev zlib1g-dev libpng-dev subversion
svn co https://svn.bountysource.com/zsnes/trunk/ zsnes
cd zsnes/src
./autogen.sh
make
sudo make install

Everything worked ok up until the "./autogen.sh" part. When I tried it, it gave me this:

Code:

kitsune@kitsune-desktop:~/zsnes/src$ ./autogen.sh
Generating build information using aclocal and autoconf...
./autogen.sh: line 6: sdl-config: command not found

2931: `AM_PATH_SDL(1.2.0,,AC_MSG_ERROR(SDL >= 1.2.0 is required))'

I don't know how to get SDL, I tried searching for it in the package manager, but it didn't help.....

Can anyone help? I'm very lost.

Try
apt-get install frozen-bubble :}

Cheers,

Thanks for the cool game, but I'm still having the same problem.....

I saw the SDL files install with the game, so I don't know why it still isn't working....

Just a guess: sometimes, if it says "command not found" it means the command is not in your PATH variable.

try: "updatedb"
followed by: "locate sdl-config"

assuming sdl-config is somewhere, then:
"echo $PATH" to see if the right directory is there

Code:

root@kitsune-desktop:/home/kitsune# updatedb
root@kitsune-desktop:/home/kitsune# locate sdl-config
root@kitsune-desktop:/home/kitsune# echo $PATH
/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin
root@kitsune-desktop:/home/kitsune#

Ok, I have no idea what I'm doing, so what does this mean?
