Hi Eric,
Thanks for replying so quickly, as it turns out, SDL wasn't even installed, I
was just coming back to post an apology.  I forgot that I had done a system
reinstall since I last compiled the code I'm working on, and hadn't installed
the sdl-dev packages yet.

I do have a follow up question though, because while it's adding the sdl include
path properly now, when I try to link against it using
TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES(dt m SDL_LIBRARY OPENGL_LIBRARIES)
the linker fails saying it can't find -lSDL_LIBRARY.
If your questions are still relevant, I'm using ubuntu 6.10, I've just installed
the repo packages so it's version 1.2.10, the headers are located
/usr/include/SDL and the libraries are located in /usr/lib
Thanks for the help,
Dan
