    havent used borland for a long time, but iirc, first, you have to install it (i got cheap and just put the headers in the include folder in the compiler dir and the libraries in the lib folder). include the headers. then -lSDL -lSDLmain for SDL when youre linking.

    I have copied all the header files to the include directory and the lib file to its lib directory but the main problem is how do I link them...

    add "-lSDL -lSDLmain" to the line when you link your program.

    5.02

    I have 5.02, and I have a small question. Can you even use command line?
