Why do I have to include manually windows.h under Win32. Why didn’t you make
SDL.h header include it, to be really portable without any change?
Can I use SDL under Win32 with BloodShed?–

marco, there shouldn’t be any reason your program using straight
SDL should need windows.h included. i’m guessing you might be
trying to do something special with the main() function? you
shouldn’t do anything, just use a normal main() function and link
your game with SDLmain.lib

He’s using OpenGL, which does require windows.h on Windows.
I’d hate to add windows.h to SDL.h, but does anybody have any other
solutions? windows.h has to be included before gl.h

Please don’t add windows.h to SDL.h… This would increase compile times
for win32 SDL programs considerably…
The only ‘solution’ I can think of is a seperate include file (sdl_gl.h ?),
which would include (#ifdef wise) os dependant stuff that needs to be
included before gl.h…> -----Original Message-----

Hrm - there’s lots of versions and varients of OpenGL (not really but 
Anyways, why not have an SDLgl.h that includes OS-specific versions of
<GL.h>
on any unix: (not tested but this is official standard afaik
#include <GL/gl.h>
on windows: (ye rebel OS that doesn’t do anything without biting ones
ears off and sacrificing a goat to the gods of stable
libraries so that you can find program bugs without being
hit by OS bugs
#include <windows.h>
#include <GL/gl.h>
Yes I realize this is a bit odd way of doing things, but you never know
what dependencies any opengl might have. I wonder what MacOS’s or BeOS’s
opengl requirements are…
G’day, eh?
