"Package SDL_ttf was not found in the pkg-config search path." about go-sdl HOT 5 OPEN

I've got the same problem and also no Idea.

from go-sdl.

Also a problem for me on Ubuntu Lucid.

from go-sdl.

I had the same problem on my Ubuntu system. I created two files by hand SDL_ttf.pc and SDL_mixer.pc. I then copied them to /usr/lib/pkgconfig and all worked fine. Below is the contents of the two files:

SDL_ttf.pc

prefix=@prefix@
exec_prefix=@exec_prefix@
libdir=@libdir@
includedir=@includedir@

Name: SDL_ttf
Description: ttf library for Simple DirectMedia Layer with FreeType 2 support
Version: @VERSION@
Requires: sdl >= @SDL_VERSION@
Libs: -L${libdir} -lSDL_ttf
Cflags: -I${includedir}/SDL

SDL_mixer.pc

prefix=@prefix@
exec_prefix=@exec_prefix@
libdir=@libdir@
includedir=@includedir@

Name: SDL_mixer
Description: mixer library for Simple DirectMedia Layer
Version: @VERSION@
Requires: sdl >= @SDL_VERSION@
Libs: -L${libdir} -lSDL_mixer
Cflags: -I${includedir}/SDL

Note I haven't tested Go-SDL yet just saw that it compiled fine.

from go-sdl.

Ubuntu 12.10 (quantal) appears to be shipping with SDL_ttf.pc.

@zombieCraig not sure what witchcraft you used but this solves everything (at least on my #! distro). thumbs up.
