Installation problem

naman_kohli · April 27, 2010, 5:58pm

Hello all,

I am having quite a strange problem.I was successfully using SDL when the
lights got off and now when i compile my program it says SDL.h not present.

I am quite confused seeing that the same program was running before on
linux.

Please help

Hi,

can you please explain better what you are trying to do?

Which compiler and OS are you using?

How have you installed SDL?–

“The lights got off”? Do you mean a power failure? If so, try running a file
system check as root (fsck). Then you may need to reinstall SDL.

Hey,

Actually I am working on Fedora 12…and the problem has been solved in
the sense that I just tried to include the complete location of SDL.h and
its fine now.

However if u can tell why it’s still not working as SDL.h

I did’nt install it.I checked and it was there.

Are you using sdl-config in your build script or Makefile? It is supposed to be used to get the appropriate -I option for includes, and the appropriate linker options among other things.On 04/27/2010 12:08 PM, naman kohli wrote:

Someone will probably correct me on how to use sdl-config, but here’s a quick idea:
gcc proj.c sdl-config --cflags sdl-config --libs

Note that --libs puts in SDLmain for example (as it should), which -l SDL does not.On 04/27/2010 12:13 PM, naman kohli wrote:
