I'm using SDL 1.1.8, and SDL_mixer and SDL_image the most recent version
downloadable as .tar.gz. I've installed SDL and those libraries from .rpms.
But, as I've said, I believe it's not the SDL setup that causes this. For
example, if I compile the fireworks demo(which consists of only fire.c)
like:
gcc fire.c -o fire `sdl-config --libs`, it works. But not the configure
script. Is it maybe made for some other OS(not linux), or some newer version
or...? And how to fix it? Also, I can't compile many of the examples in VC,
for example, the function is called 'near', and it's a reserved word for
near pointer, so the compiler complains. I get hundreds of such errors.
