Install SDL on Linux/ubuntu

http://www.libsdl.org/



To compile and install SDL:

1. Run './configure; make; make install'

If you are compiling for Windows using gcc, read the FAQ at:

http://www.libsdl.org/faq.php?action=listentries&category=4#42
If you are compiling using Visual C++ on Win32, you should read

the file VisualC.html

2. Look at the example programs in ./test, and check out the HTML

documentation in ./docs to see how to use the SDL library.

3. Join the SDL developer mailing list by sending E-mail to

sdl-request@libsdl.org

and put "subscribe" in the subject of the message.

Or alternatively you can use the web interface:

Libraries have been installed in:

/usr/local/lib

If you ever happen to want to link against installed libraries

in a given directory, LIBDIR, you must either use libtool, and

specify the full pathname of the library, or use the `-LLIBDIR'

flag during linking and do at least one of the following:

- add LIBDIR to the `LD_LIBRARY_PATH' environment variable

during execution

- add LIBDIR to the `LD_RUN_PATH' environment variable

during linking

- use the `-Wl,-rpath -Wl,LIBDIR' linker flag

- have your system administrator add LIBDIR to `/etc/ld.so.conf'

See any operating system documentation about shared libraries for

more information, such as the ld(1) and ld.so(8) manual pages.
