[Zsnes-newbie] Compiling in FreeBSD 4.7

[clayton r. <cro...@ho...>]

Just got the new version of BSD and tried to compile zsnes (ver. 1.35_ from 
the port directory.

While this appearently worked, 2 ROMs (secret of mana 1 and 2) which worked 
with previous zsnes versions kept crashing and giving the error 
"Segmentation fault: SDL parachute deployed." While trying to compile a 
newer version, I kept getting an error that sdl-config didn't exist in 
PREFIX/bin, though I had SDL installed. The filename on my release is 
actually sdl11-config (ver. 1.2.4).

I was able to correct this by simply editing the references in the configure 
script to point at the correct filename. I have compiled zsnes 1.36, and it 
seems to be error free; I'm just mailing this in in case anyone else has the 
same problem.
The offending lines in the config script are pretty easy to identify and 
edit. I just edited the reference to the file, and left all the other 
environment variables alone.

As for why compiling the original port went so smoothly, even though it 
couldn't find sdl, I'm not sure. I may have done a "make install clean," but 
I'm not sure. I checked the config file on that release, it references the 
same sdl-config file, which doesn't exist on my computer, so...I dunno.

Anyways, I'm out. Congrats to all the coders for another great release.
