Thread: NewB with C++ - Functions & Classes

>> It's kind of difficult to get the right bits of information, especially when several sites tell me varying things about how to get SDL to work.

Well Im going to add to that list you have..

This is where I got the tutorials when I started.. he has not updated for a while but there are 4 or 5 tuts there that will get you clear up to making a side scrolling shooter... I dont know if this stuff even compiles with the newer versions of SDL, I know there have been some changes recently.. it would however be well worth a shot, as he has clear examples and explanations and wrote the code well enough also..

http://cone3d.gamedev.net/cgi-bin/in...s/gfxsdl/index

also you cant go wrong digging around the docs on the sdl site.. http://libsdl.org

I have set it up exactly as posted before (a couple of times) and added the stuff to my project's parameters tab, but it still tells me that it can't find lSDLmain

all the lib files in the Dev-cpp\lib folder
all the .h files in the Dev-cpp\include folder

though the <SDL\SDL.h> thing did work exactly as it's supposed to, compiling still won't work...

I have now tried to point to the .a and .lib files manually in parameters, but then I get a whole bunch of errors before even the first line of code.

Code:

 C:\DevTools\Dev-Cpp\lib\libSDL.a(SDL_systimer.o)(.text+0x15) In function `SDL_StartTicks':
  [Linker error] undefined reference to `timeBeginPeriod@4' 
  [Linker error] undefined reference to `timeGetTime@0' 

 C:\DevTools\Dev-Cpp\lib\libSDL.a(SDL_systimer.o)(.text+0xc1) In function `SDL_GetTicks': 
  [Linker error] undefined reference to `timeGetTime@0'

and the list goes on.

I'd just like to get this thing running so I can do some coding

any help is appreciated

Well I found out something stupid and fixed it, I forgot to add the library directories to the "directories" tab in my project...

that fixed most of my anguish, but now I'm getting a Makefile error...

Compile Log:

Code:

Executing  make...
mingw32-make -f "C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\My Documents\
Code and such\Tutorials\Tstprj\Makefile.win" all
mingw32-make: Nothing to be done for `all'.

Execution terminated

I really appreciate all the help so far... I'd just like to get this all done
