So, I recently upgraded my project from SDL 1.2 to 2.0. I’m having an issue, and I’m not sure if its SDL, VS, or some combination of the two causing it. I’m possibly just overlooking something dumb.
At any rate: after changing my include and library directories to point to the 2.0 resources, and following the migration guide to fix all the resultant build errors, I ended up getting this linker error:
“error LNK1104: cannot open file ‘SDL.lib’”
Now, looking at the 2.0 resources, I see that it’s been renamed to SDL2.lib. But if my project is pointed to the 2.0 resources and is written specifically to use them, then why the heck is it trying to link SDL.lib? Autocomplete sure seems to think its using the 2.0 resources so why the heck doesn’t the linker?
Sorry if this might be the wrong place for the question, but I wasn’t sure where else to turn.
