Linux Question

SDL Development
1

Hi, I’m new to development on Linux and was wondering if someone could
help me get started using SDL. I’ll be using it for events, GL (in
game), and for 2D frame buffer access (at the menu). Ok, so I’m using
RedHat 6.0 and installed both the runtime and development libs, now I’m
ready to get coding. :slight_smile: If I’m using SDL for the things I described
above, what do I need to link to, just SDL? Also how do you link to
SDL? (I know that under Win I had to link to opengl32.lib in addition
to sdl*.lib when using OpenGL with SDL)

I checked this page, but the links seem to be broken at the moment…
http://www.devolution.com/~slouken/SDL/opengl/intro.html

Please throughout any advice you have to help get me started in the
right direction. If there’s a faq for this already somewhere, sorry,
just point me to it. :slight_smile: If there’s not one, I’ll write it once I learn
a few things to help others in the future.

Thanks!
