[SDL] trouble compiling things

[Kandy Erica Neko]

Hi there. I'm having a problem compiling programs used with SDL and libraries for it. I set it up using mingw and msys, and it built fine and all examples compiled and worked.

I can link and compile anything from autoconfigure and it works, but simple programs that you compile with gcc `sdl-config --cflags --libs` will still tell me that things are undefined..

I want to make some simple test programs but I'm unable to compile anything and I don't know how to write autoconfigure scripts...

I'm probably doing something wrong, but I don't know what it is. Is there a way I should describe my problem in a more specific way? I'm feeling frustrated because I've spent hours messing around with this.

I did get programs to compile if they only used SDL by just copying what make did and doing exactly that, but I don't know how to use it then with other libraries, and the example program in sdl_draw would not compile using the intructions they gave me.
