Hi,

slackware 14.0 64 bit here

trying to build some pre-reqs for kdenlive such as mlt (and I struck
same issue trying to build xbmc)
all fail on
 SDL error  SDL_SysWMinfo has no member oinfo
unknown typoe name XWindowattribute... and so on...

surely sdl is built with X11 support?  all google references seem to
indicate there is no X11 support when getting these messages, but this
doesnt make sense, am I missing something?

anyone able to offer a hint as to how I can get around this?
Thanks
 Nik
