Hrm. I'm trying to compile the CVS source code snapshot from Feb. 26th, I'm running SuSe 9.0 Professional.

I've got the required libs installed and everything, but for some reason ./configure isn't recognizing my SDL_mixer, I've installed it using the rpm version 1.2.5, yet I keep getting this error

checking for SDL - version >= 1.2.0... yes
checking for Mix_QuickLoad_RAW in -lSDL_mixer... no
configure: error: *** SDL_mixer version 1.2.4 or later not found!

Anyone have any suggestions? I've searched but it seems noone else has gotten this error recently, thanks in advance

*sigh*, Don't you just hate it when you make a simple mistake? I had installed SDL_mixer, not the developer libraries for it though, my apologies.

Now I'll try to make an rpm for it once it's compiled, never done this before, but if I figure it out, I'll upload it for other users. Anyone have any links to some good resources on rpm building?

there are already daily snapshot builds of the cvs in rpm format.

Hmm, where would I find those?

The easiest way to build an rpm from cvs is probably the following:

./autogen.sh
./configure
make dist
rpmbuild -ta exult-[version].tar.gz

Btw, the spec file in exult's CVS is currently broken; I committed a fixed version, but it might take a few hours up to a day to reach the anonymous CVS servers.

Note that currently, it might be even easier to get exult-1.1.10rc2-1.src.rpm, and run
rpmbuild --rebuild exult-1.1.10rc2-1.src.rpm

(Since current CVS hasn't changed since the 1.1.10rc2 release.)

*nods*, I realized after that Fedora was a Linux distro, I had thought it was something else, I tried using the source rpm, but for some reason or another it wouldn't install it properly (at least the gui-installer wouldn't, I didn't bother trying the console).

Thanks for the information about building it
