No f***ing way to make SDL_image programs compile in MS VC

Hi

Not sure there’s any need to swear!

You are correct in your assumption that those libraries are not compatible
with Visual C++ 5. You need to make a new library - this is quite easy to
do.

First, grab a copy of makedef from
http://codeguru.earthweb.com/tools/Makedef.shtml

You will use this to make a .DEF file:

makedef /def:SDL_Image.def /image:SDL_Image.dll

Next, use the LIB utility which should be in your Visual C++ \BIN folder to
create a new library

lib /machine:IX86 /def:SDL_Image.def /out:SDL_Image.lib

This should give you a .lib file which is compatible with your linker.

Hi,
how do i make SDL_image and SDL_mixer programs run on MSVC 5? I add the
.lib libraries to the project (add files to project) and it displays tis

error:

Linking…
.\SDL_mixer.lib : fatal error LNK1106: invalid file or disk full: cannot

seek to 0x3c1fe019
Error executing link.exe.

demo.exe - 1 error(s), 37 warning(s)

Maybe it’s because i downloaded the MSVC 6 developer libraries?
I must say that the SDL.lib and SDLmain.lib (1.2.2) files are added
correctly and don’t appear to give any problems…
Ahhh, if i could install Linux @ school, my code compiles perfectly on
it…

Thanks in advance
Joseba
