error: You must have the SDL_mixer development libraries

[Wizard^^]

Hi.

I need help.

Every time I try and compile with mingw32/msys I get

Code: [Select]

checking for SDL_mixer.h... yes
checking for library containing Mix_OpenAudio... no
configure: error: You must have the SDL_mixer development libraries

Also when tring to build in CodeBlocks I get

I would like to get this working so I can test the game while also learning to code...

[Kildor]

where have you taken c::B and mingw distrib?

[Wizard^^]

I got it from here http://szklo.eu.org/~mattn/Codeblocks.zip

[RudolfoWood]

I don't know whether this also has to be done for Codeblocks, but I found that my msys/mingw was searching for sdl headers in wrong directory (during configure). Fixed it like stated here (step 3 of "compile on windows").
Edit: I assume you tried to run ./configure to get that "error: You must have the SDL_mixer development libraries". For Codeblocks this seems to be the same reason (can't find SDL.h). For configure there should be a config.log which could give you some more hints why configure failed. (as the wrong directory in my case)

[BTAxis]

I got it from here http://szklo.eu.org/~mattn/Codeblocks.zip

I think that's the wrong one. Get the one here.

[Wizard^^]

Ok the new c::B is working but not msys.

I wonder if its a 32 bit library issue?  As I'm running a 64 bit OS..

[RudolfoWood]

what is the error for msys? I assume you tried to run ./configure - that produces a config.log which states all steps (and the little programs that are build and executed to test various settings). Please have a look at that config.log (some lines before end) or post it here. I don't know whether it is a 64bit issue, config.log could help.

[Destructavator]

In my experience sometimes changing the build target from "windows" to "windows_debug" helps in successfully compiling the program.  I don't know if that will fix the problem in your particular case, but if you haven't tried it it might be worth a try.

I assume you tried to run ./configure...

If I recall I believe that is for compiling on Linux, with the command-line.  It looks to me like Wizard is attempting to build the program under 64-bit Windows with Codeblocks, which is done differently.

Also when tring to build in CodeBlocks [...]

I remember I had this error myself. ./configure works for msys environment (which would not be needed for codeblocks) (even for cygwin, but not all dependencies are there in cygwin).

Wizard^^, please provide more details.

Ok here is some of the config.log, its to much to put it all in as its over the 20000 limit.

configure:9251: error: You must have the SDL_mixer development libraries

"@ Destructavator" yes this is how you compile with  linux, but the MSYS+minGW32 gives you the option to use the same commands in windows.

[Mattn]

the linker flags should (usually) be:

Code: [Select]

-lmingw32 -lSDLmain -lSDL -mwindows
patches are welcome ,)

[RudolfoWood]

I don't know why during configure no sdl linker flags are used.
Step 5 of my walkthrough states a workaround - you could temporarly change sdl-config to include the linking flags in compile flags. You can remove that parts from Makefile -> SDL_CFLAGS after configure (it leads to many warnings "linking is not done" otherwise)

[Wizard^^]

I looked at that before and could not find where to put "-lmingw32 -lSDLmain -lSDL -mwindows" from --libs to --cflags
as it is already there.

[Mattn]

but it's not used - maybe the wrong sdl-config is used? (at least i didn't see the linker flags in the output you posted above - but maybe i was just blind)

[RudolfoWood]

that is what I tried to tell above: configure seems to use only cflags, not libs. Add them to cflags for configure. After configure run, these are added into makefile definitions, so you have to remove them there. I don't know whether this is something intended for configure or whether there should be some other checks for that.
