GRRRR! i have tried installing the SDL for dev cpp and had no luck so now i have followed the tutorial for the code blocks and sdl install found on these pages. The problem is when trying to create the SDL project first it tells me the global variable type 'SDL' is not recognised, but then i can ignore that step and go on to a step where it tells me i have to tell code blocks where 'SDL' is located, the tip it gives is the location of the folder that SDL was unzipped to, the root folder containing include and lib,
well i have pointed it at this folder and also tried the SDL folder in my code blocks directory and either way all i get is it cant find the include folder or it can't find the SDL.h file in the folder(despite the fact the damn thing is in there) and the wizard can't continue
any advice gratefully accepted...
