Warzone 2100

I’m trying to install Warzone 2100 beta 5. Typically I just grab it from the opensuse repositories, but since that is still beta 4 I wanted to try to install it myself, something I have never done before

I’m up to ./configure and am getting the error message
*
checking for SDL… configure: error: Package requirements (sdl >= 1.2) were not met:

No package ‘sdl’ found

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables SDL_CFLAGS
and SDL_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.*

I have checked and I have SDL 1.2 installed, so am not sure what I am doing wrong, any help would be appreciated.

Check to see if you have the ‘-devel’ packages installed. e.g ‘SDL-devel’.

When you compile things yourself, you need the ‘-devel’ packages for any requirement.

Good luck,
