Hello SDLers !
im new to DEV-C++ and I managed to compile and link a programm, which
uses the libraries “SDL” and “SDL_TTF”.
The resulting executable is 929 kb in size (with no debugger
information & with best optimization).
Cause of the size, I’m not sure if both libs are really dynamically linked ?
Is it right, that they are dynamically linked, when I include the
following linker parameters (g++ is used) ?:
-lSDL_ttf -lSDL
I noticed, that when the SDL.dll isn’t available, that Windows or the
executable gives a message about not finding the SDL.dll (so for me it
is dynamically linked).
==> But I get NO message concerning a missing SDL_ttf.dll when it is
renamed to another name !
Is this library really dynamically linked ?
Can somebody try to help me with this ?
Greetings
Alexander G?nzel
Alexander,
This may or may not help but… There’s a handy (free) application called Dependency Walker that tells you what DLL dependencies your exe uses.

Hello !
This may or may not help but… There’s a handy (free) application
called Dependency Walker that tells you what DLL dependencies your exe uses.
Look at http://www.dependencywalker.com/ !

Many thanks Gerald and Torsten !
This programm is new to me and I downloaded it for future use. 
Btw., I have found a solution for my problem.
You can read all and more at:

Search there for the date “2004-09-24 01:27:58”. Under this date you can
read my solution and advice for other newbies.

Thanks TomT64,
for your remark towards my notes about stdout.txt & stderr.txt I have to
admit, that you’re right, with what you wrote.
I tested it again and the stdout.txt indeed doesn’t get deleted, when I
write text to cout.
I don’t know why I didn’t noticed this before ? Maybe I thought that it
contains debug output for the developers of SDL and deleted it, without
opening it in a texteditor ?
So I can drop my handling with debugfile(fstream).

On your notes on the site: stdout.txt and stderr.txt do not normally get deleted if they actually contain something when the program exits. Also, I have successfully compiled programs in Dev-C++ that dynamically link the libraries by compiling all the libraries myself using msys and mingw (command line) and then using those as my dependencies under the lib and include directories.
