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

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"

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

You have to install sdl-dev or similar.

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

Look in synaptic for other libsdl stuff, like sdl-mixer-dev, etc, many of the sdl * dev are needed.

Thanks Michael, that seems to have done the trick :)

Unfortunately, I ran Lazarus using debug mode (hadn't tried directly running the executable yet), and it killed my pendrive Linux (restoring now) :(

Nasty!

cheers,
Paul
