[SDL] cross-compiling SDL

[Nicola Franchi]

Hi
I'm trying to cross-compile an application (MPEG4IP) which uses SDL 1.2.5 for a SH4-Linux platform. The problem is that a couple of configure scripts make some checks on a file existence, like this:

echo "$as_me:$LINENO: checking for lib/SDL/sdl-config" >&5
echo $ECHO_N "checking for lib/SDL/sdl-config... $ECHO_C" >&6
if test "${ac_cv_file_lib_SDL_sdl_config+set}" = set; then
  echo $ECHO_N "(cached) $ECHO_C" >&6
else
  test "$cross_compiling" = yes &&
  { { echo "$as_me:$LINENO: error: cannot check for file existence when cross compiling" >&5
echo "$as_me: error: cannot check for file existence when cross compiling" >&2;}
   { (exit 1); exit 1; }; }
if test -r "lib/SDL/sdl-config"; then
  ac_cv_file_lib_SDL_sdl_config=yes
else
  ac_cv_file_lib_SDL_sdl_config=no
fi
fi

and the process breaks. The guys of mpeg4ip can't resolve this problem. Can I remove this check ?

Thanks in advance


BTW: When I try to configure only SDL, using this script:

# !/bin/bash
export CROSS=<....>/bin/sh4-linux-
export CC=$CROSS"gcc"
export CXX=$CROSS"g++"
./configure  --prefix /root/sh4_bin --build="`./config.guess`" --host="sh4-linux" --disable-joystick --disable-cdrom --disable-esdtest --disable-arts --disable-nas --disable-diskaudio --disable-mintaudio --disable-video-dga --disable-video-photon --disable-video-ps2gs --disable--video-xbios --disable-video-gem --without-x

I can cross-compile successfully.
