Re: [pygame] Compiling without SDL_gfx

[Vicent Marti <tanoku@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hey Evan,

unfortunately that documentation is outdated since I rewrote most of
the Pygame2 build system. To disable building SDL_gfx, you need to
manually set an environment variable named "WITH_SDL_GFX" to 0 in your
shell. If you are unsure about how to do this, just open the file
'cfg.py' in your favourite editor and change line 41 to:

build['SDL_GFX'] = False

That will override the check for environment variables.

Looking at it, it isn't as user friendly as one would expect, so I'll
probably fix that up tomorrow morning, and update the docs while I'm
at it. :)

Cheers,
