You will need the SDL and SDL_image libraries for building doraemon.

1. Install the SDL library.

   Download the SDL libary from here: http://www.libsdl.org/

   Navigate to the directory where you downloaded the SDL library, for example:

   bash#  cd /eleague/src/SDL
   

   Modify the file in this directory called configure as follows:
   Find the lines that read:

     exec_prefix=NONE
     prefix=NONE
   

   These should both be changed to point to the directory in which you want to install the SDL library. For our example, we are installing into /eleague, so we change the configure script to read:

     exec_prefix=/eleague
     prefix=/eleague
   

   
   Next, configure the installation by running:

   bash# ./configure --disable-video-directfb
   

   Note: Without the "--disable-video-directfb", it tries to use something called pgk-config to install something related to video-directfb (whatever that is) and it seems that we don't have pkg-config installed...
   The correct paths should now be set in the Makefile and its subdirectories, so you can simply run:

   bash# make
   bash# make install
   

   SDL should now be installed in the directory specified in the configure script.

2. Install the SDL_image library.

   Download the SDL_image libary from here: http://www.libsdl.org/projects/SDL_image

   Navigate to the directory where you downloaded the SDL_image library, for example:

   bash#  cd /eleague/src/SDL_image
   

   As with the SDL library, modify the file in this directory called configure as follows:
   Find the lines that read:

     exec_prefix=NONE
     prefix=NONE
     SDL_CONFIG="$ac_cv_path_SDL_CONFIG"
   

   The first two should be changed to point to the directory in which you want to install the SDL_image library. SDL_CONFIG should be modified to point to the directory where you want the sdl-config directory to reside. For our example, we are installing into /eleague, so we change the configure script to read:

    exec_prefix=/eleague
    prefix=/eleague
    SDL_CONFIG=/eleague/bin/sdl-config
   

   Next, configure the installation by running:

   bash# ./configure
   The correct paths should now be set in the Makefile and its subdirectories, so you can simply run:
   bash# make
   bash# make install
   
   The SDL_image library should now be installed in the directory specified in the configure script.
