I just downloaded SDL_ttf from this website, added its contents to the proper folders, and set up the project configurations to include, link, etc. When I compiled the project(called Engine), I received around 100 errors all from SDL_ttf.h. How do I resolve these? Engine also contains SDL and links to it just like it links SDL_ttf though SDL_ttf can’t find SDL.h for some reason. Engine builds as a .lib file.
Here is the code in SDL_ttf(downloaded from this website):
