The Simple DirectMedia Layer (SDL for short) is a cross-platform library designed to make it easy to write multimedia software, such as games and emulators.
This package is known to build and work properly using an LFS-7.4 platform.

User Notes: http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/wiki/sdl
Install SDL by running the following commands:
sed -i '/_XData32/s:register long:register _Xconst long:' src/video/x11/SDL_x11sym.h && ./configure --prefix=/usr --disable-static && make
Now, as the root user:
make install &&
install -v -m755 -d /usr/share/doc/SDL-1.2.15/html &&
install -v -m644 docs/html/*.html \
/usr/share/doc/SDL-1.2.15/html
If you wish to, test the installation of SDL using the included test programs. It is not required to install any of the resulting binaries to validate the installation. Issue the following commands to build the test programs:
cd test && ./configure && make
You'll need to manually run all the test programs (they are listed
in the README file in this
directory). Many of them will need to be manually killed, and
you'll need to turn your speakers on with the volume at a suitable
level.
sed -i ...: This command fixes compilation with libX11-1.6.0
--disable-static: This
switch prevents installation of static versions of the libraries.
As with most libraries, there is no configuration to do, save
that the library directory, i.e., /opt/lib or /usr/local/lib should appear in /etc/ld.so.conf so that ldd can find the shared
libraries. After checking that this is the case, /sbin/ldconfig should be run
while logged in as root.
