    SDL Setup

    Um, sorry for making a similiar topic to my "Allegro setup", but this is a little different.

    I followed the instructions at:
    http://cone3d.gamedev.net/cgi-bin/in...ls/gfxsdl/tut1
    and everything was going fine until this:
    The thing we need to set here is the field that says "Further object files or linker options:". Type in "-lmingw32 -lSDLmain -lSDL" (w/o the quotes) inside it. Now click OK.
    I'm using dev c++ 5 and there is no "Further object files or linker options" field.
    Does anyone know what to do? I would really like just to get this setup so I can start working...

    Go to "Project Options" from the dropdown menu, then the "Parameters" tab. Theres a text area to add stuff for the linker. Just paste it in.

    If you're stuck, you should see this excellent page: http://lazyfoo.net/SDL_tutorials/les...vcpp/index.php

    (There are lots of SDL tutorials there, not just about setting up Dev-C++. Good reading.)
