Compiling Clanlib 0.8.X in Ubuntu Hardy

[Neon Lemmy Koopa]

Heres my story.

I want to use some game development stuff in Ubuntu, and the program I want requires ClanLib 0.8.x to be installed. Upon checking the repositories, those clanlibs were for version 0.6. now the only releases I could find on the Clanlib site were 0.8.1 and 0.8.0. Did them both. I got through the ./configure part quite fine. But when I issue the make command, I end up with the following output for both versions.

display_mode.cpp:33:38: error: X11/extensions/xf86vmode.h: No such file or directory
display_mode.cpp: In static member function 'static std::vector<CL_DisplayMode, std::allocator<CL_DisplayMode> >& CL_DisplayMode::get_display_modes()':

make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/sam/Downloads/ClanLib-0.8.0/Sources'

I have tried other methods I found on the forum, but to no avail. If someone could please help me?

Okay so I managed to figure out how to get past that part. Apparently there were some headers missing, so I needed to install the libxxf86vm-dev package. did that fixed that. Now theres another wall. heres the output from the make command.

Unix/soundoutput_alsa.h:37:29: error: alsa/asoundlib.h: No such file or directory

this looks like an error with alsa.
Someone please help me with this!

lol I fixed that too. There were some alsa headers missing. Basically what I did is searched "alsa" in synaptic and checked off any package listed with "-dev" at the end and an ubuntu logo in front of it.

I did this myself, but I request that this be left here for others that may encounter this problem!
