Question

Trying to install the SDL-gfx library on Windows, and running into problems at the configure:

Resolving dependencies...
Configuring SDL-gfx-0.6.0...
checking for sdl-config... /usr/bin/sdl-config
checking for gcc... gcc
checking for C compiler default output file name... a.exe
checking whether the C compiler works... yes
checking whether we are cross compiling... no
checking for suffix of executables... .exe
checking for suffix of object files... o
checking whether we are using the GNU C compiler... yes
checking whether gcc accepts -g... yes
checking for gcc option to accept ISO C89... none needed
checking for SDL_initFramerate in -lSDL_gfx... no
configure: error: *** SDL_gfx lib not found! Get SDL_gfx from
http://www.ferzkopp.net/~aschiffler/Software/SDL_gfx-2.0/

The link is broken, but I got the tar from http://www.ferzkopp.net/joomla/content/view/19/14/ and looked at the contents. It's a grab bag of header files, c files, etc. I'm not sure where to put these so that SDL-gfx's configure recognizes them. For fun I also grabbed some pre-compiled dll's and header files but I don't know where to put those either.

Anyone know where I should put those files to make them work?

I had similar struggles with SDL, but I eventually found an SDL download with an "include" and "lib" directory, and added them to extra-include-dirs and extra-lib-dirs in my .cabal/config...but I don't know what is "include" and what is "lib" for SDL_gfx.

No correct solution
