Subject: Error when linking to SDL

I compiled SDL with cygwin. When compiling I saw this warning quite a
lot, but it went smooth besides it:

cc1: warning: changing search order for system directory
"/usr/include/mingw"
cc1: warning: as it has already been specified as a non-system
directory

I created a simple program:

#include <stdio.h>

int main(int argc, char* argv[]){
printf(“Hello World\n”);

    exit(0);

}

If I compile this like this:

gcc -o test1.exe test1.c

I get this output when I run it:

Hello World

With out changing the code at all, if I compile it like this:

gcc -o test1.exe sdl-config --cflags sdl-config --libs test1.c

The program will crash when I try to run it.

Any ideas on what the problem could be?

I think your seg fault is unrelated to those warnings.

Heres an analogy (not exact but close so bear with me lol)…

lets pretend i build machines for you but you have to tell me what the
machines do and how they work.

So you give me a design and tell me where the parts are, you point to a box
and say “use parts from that box” and i say “warning, you already told me to
use that box” but i build your machine anyways.

Just because you already told me to use the box, does that mean the machine
i give you will work any differently?

your seg fault is most likely due to your code, what i generaly do to debug
is either put in printf’s to see where the code crashed by seeing the last
thing that got printed…or i do the same thing but write it out to a log
file. I dont use gdb and im still pretty successful at debugging (:

hope this helps!

I also debug the way you do, using print messages. Look at this
program:

#include <stdio.h>

int main(int argc, char* argv[]){
printf(“Hello World\n”);
fflush(NULL);

    exit(0);

}

Even this program will segfault before it prints anything. I’m assuming
that because I link to SDL the executable loads those libraries, so
there must be something wrong with my SDL.dll? I’m not familiar enough
with how it all works to be sure though…> ----- Original Message -----

I have the graphical version of gdb that comes with cygwin. I clicked
run and then viewed the stack. This is what it says:

_mingw_CRTStartup
Main

(main was highlighted in yellow).

Like I said I’m not good with gdb (especially this graphical
version…) let me know if there is anything else that will help.> ----- Original Message -----

Subject: Error when linking to SDL

I compiled SDL with cygwin. When compiling I saw this warning quite a

lot, but it went smooth besides it:

cc1: warning: changing search order for system directory
"/usr/include/mingw"
cc1: warning: as it has already been specified as a non-system
directory

I created a simple program:

#include <stdio.h>

int main(int argc, char* argv[]){
printf(“Hello World\n”);

    exit(0);

}

If I compile this like this:

gcc -o test1.exe test1.c

I get this output when I run it:

Hello World

With out changing the code at all, if I compile it like this:

gcc -o test1.exe sdl-config --cflags sdl-config --libs test1.c

The program will crash when I try to run it.

Any ideas on what the problem could be?

Try putting #include “SDL.h” at the top. I think the problem is because
you’re linking with SDLmain.lib which assumes that main() has been
redefined, but you’re not including SDL_main.h which actually redefines
the function.

Hope this helps,

Tony

Here’s another stab in the dark – I had similar problems before, though
I never ran gdb on them so I’m not sure if it’s exactly the same.
Anyways, the warning you get I believe is caused by ‘sdl-config
–cflags’ returning an include directory that is already included in gcc
by default. Eg. if you type ‘sdl-config --cflags’ it should print
something like “-I/usr/include -I/usr/include/SDL -D_REENTRANT”. The
/usr/include may already be included by gcc, so try commenting it out in
sdl-config and see if the warning goes away :). (It may also be a
similar thing with sdl-config --libs and a -L flag, so try that too if
you can’t get it to go away).

That would get rid of the compiler warning, at least, but I doubt it
would fix the run-time crash (unless something wacky is going on with
your include files). The crash could be caused by library versioning
issues – have you installed SDL multiple times (perhaps by accident)?
For example, on my system (Redhat) SDL came installed in /usr. I didn’t
know that at the time, so I installed SDL from source with “make; make
install”, and that put the files in /usr/local. I’m not sure exactly
what was going on, I think gcc was compiling with one set of include
files and another set of libraries. Regardless, some SDL programs would
crash, others would work fine. Once I realized this and thoroughly
uninstalled one of the SDL’s and recompiled my programs, everything ran
fine. You can check by typing:

ls /usr/lib/libSDL*
ls /usr/local/lib/libSDL*

Only one of them should list any files. Or if you have locate, do
"locate libSDL*", and all your libSDL files listed should be in the same
directory. If the libraries are in more than one place you could have
the same problem I did. Then it’s just a matter of uninstalling
everything extra and recompiling. Eg. doing a “make uninstall” if you
built from source, or “rpm -e”, or whatever it is you normally do to
remove stuff.

Like I said, it’s a stab in the dark…so good luck :).

I figured I’d try recompiling SDL w/o the /usr/local/mingw warning.
When I did this I noticed another warning, that seems to be more
important:

SDL_main.c: In function console_main': SDL_main.c:188: warning: implicit declaration of functionalloca’

I do have the file /usr/include/alloca.h, so I added the line:

#include <alloca.h>

The compiler complained that it couldn’t find alloca.h, so I changed the
line to:

#include “/usr/include/alloca.h”

Then I got the following errors:

In file included from /usr/include/alloca.h:10,
from SDL_main.c:17:
/usr/include/_ansi.h:15:20: newlib.h: No such file or directory

Here’s another stab in the dark – I had similar problems before, though
I never ran gdb on them so I’m not sure if it’s exactly the same.
Anyways, the warning you get I believe is caused by ‘sdl-config
–cflags’ returning an include directory that is already included in gcc
by default. Eg. if you type ‘sdl-config --cflags’ it should print
something like “-I/usr/include -I/usr/include/SDL -D_REENTRANT”. The
/usr/include may already be included by gcc, so try commenting it out in
sdl-config and see if the warning goes away :). (It may also be a
similar thing with sdl-config --libs and a -L flag, so try that too if
you can’t get it to go away).

That would get rid of the compiler warning, at least, but I doubt it
would fix the run-time crash (unless something wacky is going on with
your include files). The crash could be caused by library versioning
issues – have you installed SDL multiple times (perhaps by accident)?
For example, on my system (Redhat) SDL came installed in /usr. I didn’t
know that at the time, so I installed SDL from source with “make; make
install”, and that put the files in /usr/local. I’m not sure exactly
what was going on, I think gcc was compiling with one set of include
files and another set of libraries. Regardless, some SDL programs would
crash, others would work fine. Once I realized this and thoroughly
uninstalled one of the SDL’s and recompiled my programs, everything ran
fine. You can check by typing:

ls /usr/lib/libSDL*
ls /usr/local/lib/libSDL*

Only one of them should list any files. Or if you have locate, do
"locate libSDL*", and all your libSDL files listed should be in the same
directory. If the libraries are in more than one place you could have
the same problem I did. Then it’s just a matter of uninstalling
everything extra and recompiling. Eg. doing a “make uninstall” if you
built from source, or “rpm -e”, or whatever it is you normally do to
remove stuff.

Like I said, it’s a stab in the dark…so good luck :).

I just tried that:

#include

int main(int argc, char* argv[]){
printf(“Hello World\n”);
fflush(NULL);

    exit(0);

}
[25 NA900002 at LIBERTY-JDSFZXH (14:52:44) sdlTest] make
make test1
make[1]: Entering directory /home/NA900002/code/c/sdlTest' gcc -o test1.exesdl-config --cflagssdl-config --libs` test1.c
cc1: warning: changing search order for system directory

I’m only guessing here, but could it be the problem with compiler
flags? Try

gcc test1.c -o test1.exe sdl-config --cflags --libs

As I said, only a guess, but you never know…
