Issue with SDL on Ubuntu using Sun Studio 12

SDL Development
#1

Hi,

I’ve been trying out the Sun Studio 12 IDE and the sun suite of compiler
that ships with it. I’m using Ubuntu and when I compile a file with the
SDL includes:

#include “SDL/SDL.h”
#include “SDL/SDL_thread.h”
#include “SDL/SDL_opengl.h”

I get an error:

“/usr/include/SDL/begin_code.h”, line 126: Error: #define and #undef are
not legal for predefined macros.

which is this line:

#define inline inline

I’m not sure what it means. Does anyone have any hints to make things
build? Do I have to build SDL using the sun compilers and link and
include from that install?

Thanks in advance,
Eugene

Try replacing that with the following:
#ifndef inline
#define inline inline
#endif

“/usr/include/SDL/begin_code.h”, line 126: Error: #define and #undef are
not legal for predefined macros.

This is in the bugtracker, btw:

Oh wow. I didn’t even realize there was a bug tracker :slight_smile:

I will try the workaround Sam Crow mentioned for the time being.

Thanks everyone,
