Description Manuel Bilderbeek 2009-04-26 07:44:01 UTC 
From my report on IRC:

Hi all

I have a problem with getting ESD to be loaded as dynamic library by libSDL.

I think it's a problem in configure.in, line 455
             esd_lib_spec=`echo $ESD_LIBS | sed 's/.*-L\([[^ ]]*\).*/\1\/libesd.so.*/'`

This will not find libesd if it's in /usr

replacing it with a quick hack like this makes it work:
esd_lib_spec=/usr/lib/libesd.so.*

In the tests for pulseaudio, there is testing for /usr/lib etc. but not in the tests for ESD... bug?
Comment 1 Ryan C. Gordon 2009-09-13 16:33:15 UTC 
Tagging this bug with "target-1.2.14" so we can try to resolve it for SDL 1.2.14.

Please note that we may choose to resolve it as WONTFIX. This tag is largely so we have a comprehensive wishlist of bugs to examine for 1.2.14 (and so we can close bugs that we'll never fix, rather than have them live forever in Bugzilla).

--ryan.

What is the value of $ESD_LIBS on your system?
Comment 3 Manuel Bilderbeek 2009-09-21 13:31:54 UTC 
I hope this info helps:

$ esd-config --libs
-lesd  

This should basically be the contents of that variable.

This is fixed for SDL 1.2.14 release, thanks!
