[pygame] Re: pygame sdl_image png/jpeg support

[AntCox <antony@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thank you for your reply Lenard. I have read the post you linked and I
am unsure which file needs editing. Setup.in does not seem to exist in
the pygame directory after checking it out from the repo. Is that
another system file, a Python file or a typo? I haven't used Python
very much, and pygame not at all so I am quite unfamiliar with the
structure. If you or anyone else could be a little more verbose/
specific with your suggestions it would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
