HI
basically I only want to do something alike:

SDL_Surface *cristal = IMG_Load(“Images/cristal.png”);

but it fails with a shared lib or dll. Why? What could I be doing wrong?
Many thanks
Michael

Did you try checking IMG_GetError()? It might tell you the problem, like if
you’re using an incompatible or missing dll.

Hi Mike,

How does it fail exactly? Does a white box show-up where there should
be something, or do you get a segfault. Probably not it, but check the
case of the file you are loading, as well as make sure you are running
the application from the appropriate directory (namely, the one that
has “Images” as a sub-directory).

Hope that helps,
