Autotools/buildsys build fails by default

[myshkin]

The default settings to configure (i.e. sdl-mixer enabled and sdl disabled) fail to add -lSDL to the LIBS, but snd-sdl.c relies on functions in that library (specifically, SDL_RWFromFile(), via the Mix_LoadWAV macro), at least in the version of SDL I have. Reported by bacchist in #angband-dev.

Possibly related to #1153.

Surely the solution here is to change the default sdl-mixer config to disabled?

(Changing milestone to 3.4 as per other buildsys tickets - not specific to v4.)

[myshkin]

It is possible that we should do so, but that won't fix the problem, unless we also add a dependency such that --enable-sdl-mixer requires --enable-sdl.

Hmmm. Works for me on debian (wheezy). I did:

$ ./autogen.sh
$ ./configure --with-no-install
$ make clean; make

and it built fine.

myshkin - can you post a trace of what fails for you?

I should note that I'm running Ubuntu 11.10 (Oneiric Ocelot).

The link commands and output:

gcc -o angband angband.o main.o main-gcu.o main-x11.o snd-sdl.o   -L/usr/lib -lncursesw -ltinfo  -lSM -lICE  -lX11  -lSDL_mixer -lm

/usr/bin/ld: note: 'SDL_GetError' is defined in DSO /usr/lib/libSDL-1.2.so.0 so try adding it to the linker command line

Fixed in commit 955f77c in master.
