 ''' Build the SDL library '''
 To build SDL, first download and unpack it:
    wget http://www.libsdl.org/release/SDL-1.2.13.tar.gz
    tar -xf SDL-1.2.13.tar.gz
    cd SDL-1.2.13
-You'll need a toolchain, for example [[Didj_Build_Environment|this one]]
+Now try the following, but replace the "/path/to" lines with paths on your system. You'll want to tell the build system where to install libSDL and where to look for kernel headers:
   CFLAGS="-I/path/to/kernel/linux-2.6/include/"

 If that succeeds, try building and installing:
    make
    make install
-You should see libSDL.so in usr/lib in your rootfs directory as well as its header files in "usr/include".  When building applications against libSDL, tell the compiler to look for headers and the linker to look for libraries there (ie: CFLAGS="-I/path/to/rootfs/usr/include" and LDFLAGS="-L/path/to/rootfs/usr/lib").
