Aah. Common scripting problem. Easy to fix. Try this:
if test "x`which sdl-config`" != x ; then
Yup, I know that one too but you need the right side to be "x". Double
quoting allows test to execute but it doesn't establish that you have
sdl installed since when you don't have it the comparison becomes "xno
sdl-config in a b c" != "x" which is true and that causes the script to
think you have sdl installed. We really need which to shut up when it
can't find anything.
So far the contenders are test x`which sdl-config | 2>&1 grep -v ^no`
!= x and a shell function that implements a properly quiet which. David
Snider leans towards the first and I lean towards the second.
The only problem I get now is:
ld: Undefined symbols:

which is strange, because:
Hmm, that is odd. I'll see if I can come up with anything over the next
few days.
