Re: [pygame] Pygame with changed location of SDL

[Thomas Kluyver <takowl@xxxxxxxxx>]

I think it should respect standard mechanisms like the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable.

There are also ways to edit the binary to modify where it looks for libraries: we do this in order to bundle libraries like SDL into the Linux wheel packages. But I don't think this kind of trick should be necessary for what you describe.

Hello Dear Community,

I am trying to bring pygame to a system which sadly has a ro system partition. To be precise its Libreelec which is a just enough OS for the Homecinema Software Kodi. So due to it's limitations you can't install anything into /usr/ or similir folders. But you can Install addons, which also are able to contain binaries and libraries. So id like to know if there is a way to change, where pygame is looking for the SDL libraries.

Thank you very much
