Easy question about S.D.L. and MSVS.NET2005Pro…

Hi,

I am using S.D.L. 1.2.9 with SDL_Mixer 1.2.6 and SDL_TTF 2.0.7
with Microsoft Visual Studio.NET 2005 Professional
(using Visual C/C++ programming language)
to make a Tetris game for the PC Windows platform.

My question is the following:

When I run my game, I notice in the game’s folder
that two new files are created
"stderr.txt"
"stdout.txt"
then when I exit game
the two new files are removed.

Anyone know why these two files appear when I run the game?

Would like these two files to not be created on running game
and deleted on exiting game.

Thanks in advance…

“stderr.txt”
“stdout.txt”

Those are files on windows that the output for stderr (Standard Error) and
stdout (Standard Output) get directed to. Very usefull when programs crash
unexpectidly. Although a full logging system would be MUCH better. It is
truthfully nothing to worry about.

Hope that helped some (not really full awake or aware at the moment).–

This happens when you link to the debug version of SDL_main.lib . Link
to the “Release NoSTDIO” version instead.–
