Compiling with cigwin

SDL Development
1

i am newby on this…
i have instaled cigwin on my win xp
i copy .lib files on C:\cygwin\lib and the include files on C:\cygwin\usr\include\SDL then i have a test.c program that do

#include "SDL.h"
int main()
{
return 0;
}

…i try to compile it…

CXX=g++
OPCIONES=-g -Wall -I…/util -I/usr/include/GL -I/bin -I/usr/include/w32api -I/usr/include/SDL -I/usr/include
DIRECTORIOS=
#BIBLIOTECAS=-L/lib -lm
BIBLIOTECAS=-L/lib -lSDL.lib -lSDLmain.lib -lglui -lglut32 -lglu32 -lopengl32 -lm

all:
${CXX} ${OPCIONES} test.c -o test ${DIRECTORIOS} ${BIBLIOTECAS}

…but…

test.c:1: SDL.h: No such file or directory
make: *** [all] Error 1

what should i do?
any documentation to suggest?

thanks

Try
#include <SDL/SDL.h>

This works fine for me.
If you use your #include you should add the SDL-Include directory to
your compiler flags
(-I)

#include <SDL.h>

if the header is given with quotes then it looks for it in the current
directory. if its in < and > characters, then it looks in the include paths.

I use sdl-config to give me the right parameters

sdl-config --cflags for the header files
sdl-config --libs for the libraries

Hope this helps,
Rob

It works with my setup (Cygwin on WinXP, SDL compiled from source):
$ cat Makefile
CXX=gcc
OPCIONES=-g -Wall sdl-config --cflags
DIRECTORIOS=
BIBLIOTECAS=sdl-config --libs

all:
${CXX} -o bozo.exe bozo.c ${OPCIONES} ${BIBLIOTECAS}

$ cat bozo.c
#include "SDL.h"
int main(int argc, char** argv)
{
return 0;
}

Note that SDL libs are in E:\Cygwin\usr\local\lib and SDL includes in
E:\Cygwin\usr\local\include\SDL.

I’ve got a similar problem with my compiler not finding some files - how do
you specify include paths? Is there a way other than using command line
options?

Thanks.

If you’re using make and cygwin, that’s exactly what you use. In
your Makefile, something like:

CFLAGS:=sdl-config --cflags
LIBS:=sdl-config --libs

List of .o files in your program.

OBJS:=main.o foo.o

The program.

my_project.exe: $(OBJS)
gcc $(CFLAGS) $(LIBS) -o my_project.exe $(OBJS)

Convert .c to .o

.c.o:
gcc $(CFLAGS) -c -o $@ $<–
