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 ----- Original Message ----- From: Michael Joyner ᏩᏯ To: Lazarus mailing list Sent: Monday, December 14, 2009 2:51 PM Subject: Re: [Lazarus] Lazarus (pendrive linux) can't find SDL libraries?

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?
