Summary: SDL_image can be compiled if zlib is in non standard location

Description Patrice Mandin 2007-05-11 15:14:18 UTC 
SDL_image' configure.in script assumes that zlib library is in the default compiler path. It may not be the case if zlib has been compiled by the user and/or installed to a different location.

The autoconf macro archive contains the CHECK_ZLIB macro to allow the user to specify the path to zlib (--with-zlib=<rootpath>, --without-zlib).

Comment 1 Sam Lantinga 2007-07-12 20:52:35 UTC 
This has been added to SDL_image in revision 3243.  Thanks!
Comment 2 Sam Lantinga 2007-07-19 21:34:57 UTC 
The CHECK_ZLIB wasn't able to detect cross-compiled libz.

From the new SDL_image README:
If you have these libraries installed in non-standard places, you can
try adding those paths to the configure script, e.g.
sh ./configure CPPFLAGS="-I/somewhere/include" LDFLAGS="-L/somewhere/lib"
