   Problems With SDL.
  OK first of all any help on this is greatly appreciated!Basically, i am a complete beginner to the World of Games Development.At the moment i am working on sample programmes, and very simple 'Games' that are helping me get a better understanding of C++. Alot of tutorials and threads on this forum as well as others have helped me greatly as well.Back to the intial reason for this thread, i have been following the tutorial on another website which is really well layed out and presented, and i have followed it as religiously as i can, but still cannot figure out what is wrong.I am using Dev-C++ as my main IDE, and have instlled all the necassary files needed to install SDL on my windows machine.I have installed all the 'lib', 'include' and 'bin' that i was supposed to in the corresponding directories in the Dev-C++ folder.But when i come to do the simple programme that follows on from the tutorial, there are alot of errors, but my main concern is the header:#include "SDL/SDL.h"And when i try to compile the code, it says something along the lines of ''#include "SDL/SDL.h" Doesn't exist'', i have tried the re-installation of SDL and followed the tutorial many many times, i appear to be doing everything right.Does anyone know what the problem is? Can anyone make any suggestions?Thanks alot, as said above any help is greatly appreciated!Cheers,Carternator   
  I don't know how Dev-C++ works exactly, but generally when you get an error message that says 'such and such a header does not exist', it means that the compiler is unable to find the header in question.Some good questions to ask would then be:1. Where is SDL.h?2. Is it actually in a folder called 'SDL'?3. Has the path to the header been added to the project's search paths?I'd also suggest posting the exact text of the error message, and perhaps a link to the tutorial you're working from.   ;  maybe you need #include <SDL/SDL.h> instead of #include "SDL/SDL.h" since  you have probably placed your SDL header files in a directory the preprocessor searches(for example the include folder of your compiler's). let us know and maybe link the tutorial!good luck   ;  http://lazyfoo.net/SDL_tutorials/lesson01/preview.phpTheres the link to the Tutorial i have been working from!Thanks for the quick Responses,Carternator   ;  Also try #include <SDL.h>;Quote:Original post by blueappleAlso try #include <SDL.h>Thanks alot for all your help :)This was the problem because when i try and compile now, it isn't showing an error message anymore for the header, it is however showing lots of errors still, but thats not for this section. ;)Once again thanks alot,Carternator
