[Bf-committers] Linking SDL fails with the automake build system

[Christian Plessl]

Hi,

Since some days blender suddenly doesn't build correctly on my Linux system 
using the autotools buildsystem.

When linking all files for the blender executable linking fails because of 
missing SDL functions, with the following warnings:

source/.libs/libblender_source.a(libblender_blendersrc_la-seqaudio.o)(.text+0xc4d): 
In function `audio_fill':
: undefined reference to `SDL_MixAudio'
source/.libs/libblender_source.a(libblender_blendersrc_la-seqaudio.o)(.text+0xc72): 
In function `audio_fill':
: undefined reference to `SDL_MixAudio'
source/.libs/libblender_source.a(libblender_blendersrc_la-seqaudio.o)(.text+0xcde): 
In function `audio_init':
: undefined reference to `SDL_CloseAudio'
source/.libs/libblender_source.a(libblender_blendersrc_la-seqaudio.o)(.text+0xd11): 
In function `audio_init':
: undefined reference to `SDL_OpenAudio'
source/.libs/libblender_source.a(libblender_blendersrc_la-seqaudio.o)(.text+0xd1a): 
In function `audio_init':

I fixed the problem by manually adding  -lSDL   to the flags used to link the 
blender executable in the Makefile. Somehow the flags for linking SDL seem 
not to be added correctly by the automake framework anymore.

Regards,
 Christian
