[Lazarus] Lazarus (pendrive linux) can't find SDL libraries?

[Paul Nicholls]

Hi Michael, thanks :-)

I have now attempted to install SDL like so:

apt-get install libsdl1.2-dev

I will see if this works :)

cheers,
Paul

    Hi all,
        I downloaded and installed pendrive linux on my computer.

    http://www.pendrivelinux.com/run-pendrivelinux-2009-in-windows/

    After much fannying around (package dependancy issues), I managed to install freepascal, Lazarus 0.9.28.2, gdb (for Lazarus debugging), and SDL.

    Ok, so far so good...

    I am now trying to get a Win32 Lazarus SDL project I have already made to now also compile and run under my new shiny Linux ;)

    When I try and compile the source code, I get this linking error:

    "/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lSDL"

    if it helps, in Linux, I used this (from memory, might be slightly wrong package name) to install SDL (as root user):

    "apt-get install SDL"
  You have to install sdl-dev or similar. 


    So, how do I tell Lazarus where Linux installed the SDL libraries, and how do I find them in the first place if I need a path to them?

    LOL

    cheers,
    Paul
