How to type ./configure, make, etc, sure

But it never works the first time, and then you have to figure out how to install this libsdl that's missing

And no, packaging name is a crapfest, between Debian based and RPM based, they all bring me to tears

Go on, try to install libsdl in Fedora. Oh, you see, there it is called SDL. And then you install it and it doesn't work, because you need the dev version. Or devel. Or maybe it's consolidated in a package with a different name. Or maybe it's split in 2 packages and that thing you need is in some god-forsaken package like libfoo-extras-nooneneedsthis-promise
