Thanks for the reply. Here is the problem I am having I am trying to
compile a very simple program and I get the following error:

g++ SDLTest.cc -o test sdl-config --libs

don’t you want :
g++ SDLTest.cc -o test sdl-config --libs --cflags

then it will find your includes

You’re missing your include path.

I’m not sure if there is an “official” way of doing it, but you need
to add “-I/usr/local/include -I/usr/local/include/SDL” onto the compile
line.

The -I appends to the search path for looking for include files. So
adding the above two arguments will cause the compiler to also look
in /usr/local/include and /usr/local/include/SDL (in that order).

I’m assuming that /usr/local/include is where you installed the SDL
include files (which is the default location on linux boxes IIRC).

sdl-config --cflags

Unfortunately, that’s not quite right for freebsd. The scripts name is
"sdl11-config" (yes, for sdl 1.2)

… iirc :slight_smile: (I vagually recall this being an arguing point somewhere)
I always make a symlink

ln -s /usr/local/bin/sdl11-config /usr/local/bin/sdl-config
