I am relatively new to programming, especially C++, I have played around
with some of the SDL demos and currently creating a simple space invaders
game, just to get used to sdl and basic programming.
I have decided to look into opengl for my next basic project, and have
recently downloaded the sdl (nehe converted) opengl lessons.
Unfortunately I am having trouble compiling some of them, well at least
lessons 6,7,8.
The errors are: (lesson 6) though the other lessons fail with the same
error.
line 41: implicit declaration of function 'int malloc(…)'
tmpbuf = (Uint8 *)malloc(image->pitch);
line 63: implicit declaration of function 'int free(…)'
free(tmpbuf);
I am using Dev-C++ 4.9.5.0 as editor and using its default compiler, I have
not had other problems with the lessons upto 6.
Any help to get these lessons to run would be most appreciated.
If you require any more information, I will be willing to answer to the best
of my abilities.
Sorry, found my own solution. I went through some other demos, not the SDL
ones.
I tried just pasting various #includes into the project. It was missing the
following include file:
#include <stdlib.h>
This has solved the problem I was getting.

On Un*x systems, you can extract this information from SYNOPSIS section
of the appropriate manpage. E.g. if compiler complains about implicit
declaration of malloc, do “man malloc”.
