dear all, i'd like to package a friend's game, but it requires: >=libsdl1.0 which debian provides sdl_image a library which debian doesn't provide sdl_mixer a library which debian doesn't provide currently, the only way to get sdl_image and sdl_mixer on a debian system is to compile it from tarball. is it possible to specify a dependency on a library which has to be made from tarball (ie- not installed via apt-get or deselect). pete
