SDL_DisplayFormat()

SDL Development
1

implicit declaration of function int SDL_DisplaySurface(...)' assignment toSDL_Surface *’ from `int’ lacks a cast

SDL_Surface *gamebackground;

SDL_Surface *gametemp;

gametemp = SDL_LoadBMP(“gameback.bmp”);
gamebackground=SDL_DisplaySurface(gametemp); // Here is the problem!
SDL_FreeSurface(gametemp);

whats wrong?
you need more information?

SDL_DisplaySurface returns an “int”, or so the compiler thinks. I
don’t see any SDL functions by that name, so your compiler is probably
giving you a warning that it hasn’t seen the declaration for
SDL_DisplaySurface, so it will assume it is a one-parameter function
that returns an “int” and that it will be defined somewhere else…

I think you want SDL_DisplayFormat…–
