'“SDL.h” no such file or directory found' when compiling

Question

Here\'s a piece of my current Makefile:

CFLAGS = -O2 -Wall -pedantic -std=gnu++11 `sdl-config --cflags --libs` -lSDL_mixer

I have libsdl instal

Answer 1

Having a similar case and I couldn't use StackAttacks solution as he's referring to SDL2 which is for the legacy code I'm using too new.

Fortunately our friends from askUbuntu had something similar:

Download SDL

tar xvf SDL-1.2.tar.gz
cd SDL-1.2
./configure
make
sudo make install
