Getting dependencies
From FreewheelingWiki
To install v0.56, I needed to install a bunch of packages. Many came from the package install of 0.52. In addition, I needed
- libfreetype6-dev - I couldn't get ubuntu package to work, so downloaded from [1]
- libsdl, sdl-gfx and sdl-ttf - see below
- libxml2-dev - ubuntu package
- libjack-dev - ubuntu package
- libvorbis-dev - ubuntu package
- libsndfile - ubnuntu package: libsndfile2-dev

libsdl notes
- uninstalled libsdl-ttf and libsdl-gfx with synaptic
- downloaded libsdl from source, and compiled, installed
- .. install libsdl-gfx from source [2]
- .. install libsdl-ttf2.0-dev from source
after installing libsdl-gfx I could compile freewheeling, but when I ran it I got a
libSDL_gfx.so.0 not found
So I made a symlink:
/usr/lib/libSDL_gfx.so.0 -> libSDL_gfx.so.4

Ubuntu 7.10
On Ubuntu 7.10 there is a problem with libsdl-gfx compiled from source. For succesful compiling of Freewheeling you have to edit compiled sdl-gfx header file. In terminal do $ sudo gedit /usr/local/include/SDL/SDL_gfxPrimitives.h and change line #include "SDL.h" to #include <SDL/SDL.h>. Now you can compile Freewheeling 0.5.6 on your Ubuntu Linux.
