Thread: SDL2 Compilation Error in C

Hey guys,
So I'm trying to get SDL2 set up on my Ubuntu machine (18.04).
I've written the following code so far

Code:

#include <stdio.h>
 #include <SDL2/SDL.h>
  #include <stdlib.h>

#define SCREEN_WIDTH 640
  #define SCREEN_HEIGHT 480

int main()
  {
SDL_WINDOW* window;

 if(SDL_Init(SDL_INIT_VIDEO)!= 0){
 fprintf(stderr, "Could not initialize SDL Video: %s\n", SDL_GetError());
 }

 window = SDL_CreateWindow("hello", 0, 0, SCREEN_WIDTH, SCREEN_HEIGHT, SDL_WINDOW_SHOWN);

 if(window == NULL) {
 fprintf(stderr, "Could not create window: %s\n", SDL_GetError());
 }
 return 0;
 }

Tried compiling using "gcc -o game game.c `sdl2-config --cflags --libs`" as well as with "gcc -o -lSDL2 game game.c". Each time it shows the same error:

error: unknown type name ‘SDL_WINDOW’; did you mean ‘SDL_LINE’?
SDL_WINDOW* window;

Please help! I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling. Thanks.
