Thank you, this works partially (configure detects the right version) but it now fails in the final link stage: [...] -R/usr/pkg/lib -Wl,-rpath,/usr/pkg/lib -L/usr/local/lib -L/usr/lib -lz -L/usr/local/lib -Wl,-rpath,/usr/local/lib -lSDL -lpthread -lcurses
Please always post the _complete_ command line, not just the end of it. In this case, it is important to see _all_ arguments.
I pretty much like the idea of creating your own package instead of building software outside of pkgsrc. It just makes things simpler.
The software is zsnes which is actually already in pkgsrc: older version, ~50 dependencies, I only need about 4-5 features (maybe more customizations optioins are needed?).
You can say
PKG_OPTIONS.SDL= -arts
in your mk.conf file. This should get rid of many of the ~50 dependencies.
