When I compile (VC6.0) the showfont.c I get these errors. Could somebody
help me with this?

you clearly need to link with the freetype library

Actually, he just needs to link to sdl_ttf.lib, not freetype.

Google:

SDL_ttf link:

Haha, sorry if it seemed like I was inferring as much. I just copied it for
reference (for Patric, or anyone else looking for the same information) To
be honest…they don’t resemble most SDL calls, since they’re not prefixed
with the somewhat obligatory SDL_*.
