Hi,
While those linker options are not necessary for building .exe with
embedded SDL, there are crucial for building similar Linux binaries.
I find it difficult to insert them in an autoconf+automake build
system (currently I have to override LIBS completely). Does anybody
have experience with this?
Thanks!
