Hi! I am really struggling to get my first SDL file to compile.
I am following this tutorial and I am using windows with vscode: SDL-2-Tutorials/Tutorial 001_Setup/Windows/Visual Studio Code/SDLTemplate at master · SonarSystems/SDL-2-Tutorials · GitHub
I’m able to run the make command, but not able to successfully compile my main file. I’m getting errors about missing incompatible .a files even though I totally have them in my src folder in the root of my vscode file for this project. Even when I copy and paste files from tutorials, I still get this error.
Here is the terminal output when I run my makefile: If anyone has any ideas, please let me know. Thanks in advance!
