Hi guys,
after installing these:
freetype-2.4.9.tar.gzhttp://download.savannah.gnu.org/releases/freetype/freetype-2.4.9.tar.gz
SDL_ttf-2.0.11.tar.gzhttp://www.libsdl.org/projects/SDL_ttf/release/SDL_ttf-2.0.11.tar.gz

I want to use it with SDL-1.2.15 but when i want to compile with gcc on
ubuntu get the following error:

gcc $(pkg-config sdl --cflags) -o ttf_test ttf_test.c $(pkg-config sdl
–libs) -lSDL_ttf
ttf_test.c:3:21: fatal error: SDL_TTF.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated

what should i do?
thanks.

what should i do?

Linux and C/C++ is case sensitive, so you must use #include “SDL_ttf.h”,
not #include “SDL_TTF.h”
