external libraries and distribution

I see you're using SDL_ttf -- you'll need SDL_ttf.dll as well. :)

[edit] And SDL_image.dll too. [/edit]

[edit=2] And if you're loading JPG images, you'll need other DLLs as well. Here's what I distribute with most of my projects.

Code:

jpeg.dll libpng12.dll libtiff.dll SDL.dll SDL_image.dll SDL_ttf.dll zlib1.dll

If you're loading PNGs, you'll need libpng12.dll and zlib1.dll. I think you only need jpeg.dll for JPEGs. If you want to be safe, distribute all three. :) They're not really that large.

If you don't have any of these DLLs, you can download them along with one of my programs, xuni. http://downloads.sourceforge.net/xun...4&big_mirror=0
The DLLs I mentioned, plus libexpat.dll (for expat, an XML parsing library), are all there.

Or you could do some work and download the DLLs from libsdl.org yourself. I think mine are reasonably up-to-date, though. [/edit]

[edit=3] BTW, your program compiles and runs just fine on my Linux system like so:

Code:

$ g++ -I /usr/include/SDL SDLfunctions.cpp KeyEvent.cpp -o KeyEvent -lSDL -lSDL_image -lSDL_ttf KeyEvent.cpp:30: warning: missing initializer for member ‘SDL_Color::unused’ KeyEvent.cpp:100: warning: unused parameter ‘argc’ KeyEvent.cpp:100: warning: unused parameter ‘args’ $ ./KeyEvent $

What do you know -- it's cross-platform already! [/edit]
