Hi Beuc,
Sorry for not posting back sooner. Please note i'm not the thread's owner. I just installed ubuntu 14.04 and i got a different error than the one the thread's owner mentions. For me, the compilation process goes fine until the ./configure step.
Answering your questions:

why you want to compile
i just wanted to test out what the thread owner tried to do, and also to get the latest version of the program

what FreeDink version you are compiling
i'm not sure, i got it from the git repository mentioned in the BUILD file: git://git.sv.gnu.org/freedink

what actual error messages you get
For me, all goes fine until the ./configure step, which throws these errors:
Errors and warnings recap:
* You need to install the SDL libraries:
Requested 'SDL2_image > 2.0.0' but version of SDL2_image is 2.0.0
Requested 'SDL2_mixer > 2.0.0' but version of SDL2_mixer is 2.0.0
Requested 'SDL2_ttf > 2.0.12' but version of SDL2_ttf is 2.0.12
No package 'SDL2_gfx' found
* You need to install the 'check' testing framework:
No package 'check' found

There are errors - stopping. Please check the reports above.
If dependencies (such as SDL_gfx) are missing,
please check BUILD for distro package names.


Thanks for your help
