Using SDL with VC5, C++

SDL Development

this should be fun!

i’m using precompiled libs, a small test frame and when linking get
‘SDL_BlahBlah’ not defined errors. i presume this is something to do with CPP
name mangling, but don’t know where to go from here!

anyone had any experience with this set-up?

cheers

Use the latest version of SDL (0.9.13) and if those precompiled libraries
don’t work, try recompiling the library using VC++. If you do a release
build, add _BUILDING_SDL to the cpp flags, since I forgot to do that in
the release, and I don’t have access to my VC++ setup to correct it at
the moment.
