Code: Select all

checking for SDL - version >= 1.2.0... yes
checking SDL_ttf.h usability... no
checking SDL_ttf.h presence... no
checking for SDL_ttf.h... no
configure: error: You need SDL_ttf to run Aleph One.
It's all installed like it says but uh.. this??? What do I do about this?

It's present in these places:

Code: Select all

/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libSDL_ttf-2.0.so.0.10.1
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libSDL_ttf-2.0.so.0
/usr/share/cmake-3.10/Help/module/FindSDL_ttf.rst
/usr/share/cmake-3.10/Modules/FindSDL_ttf.cmake
/usr/include/SDL2/SDL_ttf.h
Where is it supposed to be for this to read it?

I think I helped you nearly a year ago. You should come back to the Discord for some install help. Writing forums posts is soooo lame.

Can you confirm if any additional packages ask to be installed after running the following command:

$ sudo apt install '^libsdl2-*'

Alephone uses SDL2 now I believe, if SDL2 is what you intend to use you'll need libsdl2-ttf.


libSDL_ttf-2.0 is the 2nd version of SDL1.2's library
