SDL installed, now how to install SDL_image

SDL Development

My project uses .gif files, so I guess I need SDL_image. I downloaded
the ZIP file and copied the contents of include and lib into c:\sdl
\include and c:\sdl\lib respectively. Do I need to #include sdl_image.h
or something? Because I can’t seem to find an sdl_image.h file. Once
again I’m using Visual C++ Express 2008…

Nevermind. I’m just an idiot. Got my ZIP files confused…On Sun, 2009-03-01 at 13:45 -0600, Michael Sullivan wrote:

I advise don’e install sdl_image. When you find a need for something it’s a good idea. You just learned how to install sdl so i advise you kick the tires and drive it around a little befor anything. sdl_image is one of those this that uses libz. As a final note take a look at all the libs there are at the sdl website and maybe even buy one of the books on how to use sdl.
