non-standard building location

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Hello,

I try to install gource on linux but I have the following problem. Thanks for a 
response.

I have the PNG Library installed, but not in a standard directory.
Gource says now always that the PNG Library is not installed. But it is.
So how can I say to gource where the PNGLibrary is installed?

Gource version is 0.28. PNGLibrary version is 1.4.5

Thanks very much for your help.

Hi.

Perhaps try editing configure.ac and comment out the line checking for the PNG 
(and maybe the check for jpeg also). ie:

#AC_CHECK_LIB(png, ...
#AC_CHECK_LIB(jpeg, ...

Regenerate configure by running 'autoconf' and see it works.

Gource doesn't use libpng directly, rather it uses SDL_image, which uses 
libpng, so you may find it works.

Thanks for your response.

This works now, but gource says now that SDL_Image is missing.
But I have installed it, but also not in a standard directory.
So how can I fix that?
Thanks very much

I know there are options on 'configure' for overriding default locations for 
headers and libraries, but this is outside my area of expertise.

Good luck :)
