Fixed bug #522 Mike Frysinger 2007-12-10 16:47:36 PST it's much easier to manage .pc files for cross-compiling setups than it is for random *-config scripts ... the cross-compiled pkg-config files can all be easily/tightly controlled and separate from the host pkg-config files. the *-config files however are to be found in $PATH and can easily pick the wrong one. can we get the sdl.m4 macro updated so that it checks for libsdl.pc first via the standard PKG_CHECK_MODULES() m4 macro, and if that fails, fall back to the normal sdl-config voodoo.

To compile and install SDL:

    1.  Run './configure; make; make install'

        If you are compiling for Windows using gcc, read the FAQ at:
        http://www.libsdl.org/faq.php?action=listentries&category=4#42

        If you are compiling using Visual C++ on Win32, you should read
        the file VisualC.html

    2.  Look at the example programs in ./test, and check out the HTML
        documentation in ./docs to see how to use the SDL library.

    3.  Join the SDL developer mailing list by sending E-mail to
    	sdl-request@libsdl.org
        and put "subscribe" in the subject of the message.

        Or alternatively you can use the web interface:
            http://www.libsdl.org/mailing-list.php

That's it!
