New programer

SDL Development
1

I’m getting back in to programming. I started out using M$ Windows but now I’m running FreeBSD and would like to know if there is a good GUI compiler I can use. I don’t know about much about Makefiles. I need some help like a quick walk through of how to write and compile a quick SDL program. I found some sample programs but can’t compile them. If you can help I would be grateful. Thanks

My favorite is KDE Studio by theKompany, although I don’t know if it runs on
BSD *NIXes yet. KDevelop is cool too and I know KDevelop does run on
FreeBSD, I had it running on FreeBSD 4.2 with KDE2. There is also a wicked
text editor for KDE called Kate, which is what I actually use to code.
Compiling for me is done via make and gcc on the command line. I think there
might even be a ports package of KDevelop in the FreeBSD ports section.

wtf is a ‘gui compiler’ ?
i think you mean an ide which is capable to create a gui via drag and drop.
IF you really mean a gui-compiler you should propably try man gcc and gtk12-config --cflags

Try installing /usr/ports/devel/sdl_ldbad. This installs a Linux-like SDL-Environment. Probably the sample programs will compile then.
