Yes I know all this, but this is actually not the problem. As you=20
might know SDL_console can be built with sdl_image support or=20
without. I need a conditional on this that defaults to=20
HAVE_SDL_IMAGE

Secondly I need also a conditional for the example program for its=20
OpenGL Support. The problem was here that I had 3 different=20
includes that have to be checked. If one is missing I have to=20
disable OpenGL Support.=20

As you can see from the latest release I have done all this but it=20
doesn't work as expected. I don't like this because its too unclear=20
for me what happens and I also don't see why I need 4 Programs to=20
compile one little library.. Hey, this is not OpenOffice :-)

Another thing: have you ever tried to update an application you just=20
downloaded off the internet with aclocal? I always get errors that=20
they were using another version of automake.. Aptitude tells me=20
that currently there are about 5 different version all incompatible=20
to each other.... this is great.

I am not sure but I think one of the most complicated programs to=20
compile is MPlayer.. now go and look what configure script they=20
use :-)

why? Do you have reports that you script doesn't work everywhere?

Thanks for your opinion. I am still unsure wheter I should change to=20
my own scripts or to look at auto* again...

Bye
