I'm trying to link some libraries with g++ and i'm getting some errors.
From what I've heard, -l used for specifying library name. But what does that mean? i'm getting an error whenever I put my library name next to -l.
and -I specifies the directory for the header files, right?Code:g++ -lSDL2
How about posting your actual error messages?
The command line you posted in itself is meaningless without some object files of your compiled code to go with it.
If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.

Did you try linking with the irrlicht library, and not the SDL library?
You seem to know all the right components for solving the problem, all you need is the right library name.

Chances are, you also need to tell the compiler where the library is. You do that with the -L (capital L) flag.
...something along those lines.Code:-LC:\Path\to\SDL -lSDL2
