SDL/SDL.h: No such file or directory

[Vradash]

Hi there!
I just wanted to try Q-Gears. So I checked out the latest Revision and want to compile it with Dev-C++.
The I got this error:
'SDL/SDL.h: No such file or directory' (in windowsdl.cpp)
Then I downloaded the latest SDL Package and set up the complete include folder as an include folder in Dev-C++.
Same result.
After that, I copied the include directory (renamed it to SDL) in some directories. Edit: Of course directories in the q-gears folder.
Same result again.
Can you help me?
(Sorry, I have no experience with that source-compile-stuff...I just wanted to try. )

Go to the package manager inside Dev-C++ and install it from there

Why on earth do you want to try Q-Gears at this point? It's nowhere near ready to use yet, and can't play the game at all.

[rmco2003]

Well I try out Q-Gears too, just to see what it can do, I think it's really interesting.

[NobodyImportant]

Yeah, I'm also fascinated with the work being done here. I'd love to see what happens so far, even if all you get is a FFVII looking GUI that does nothing (yet ).

I installed it, but I get the same error.

I don't know what sdl folders you're copying, but all you should have to do is open this file and it will install itself into Dev-C++ automatically and it should work (go here and click the download link)

I used this http://www.libsdl.org/release/SDL-devel-1.2.10-VC6.zip
Just create directory "SDL" in your devcpp "include" directory and copy files from include directory of SDL-devel in there.

Kay, that worked. Did the same with zlib. But now I get: cannot find -ISDL.

[rmco2003]

It's actually 'Cannot find lSDL' note the l (L) that looks like an I. There's another SDL package I think you need, SDL-Image or something?

[Vradash]

I don't know. I can't find anything that looks like lsdl on the SDL homepage. Do you got something for me?

It needs library. You need to copy library from SDL-devel to your DEV c++ library directory.

Doesn't work...

I need to install some other things: zlib, libpng, libjpeg, libtiff.
I installed them into Dev-C++ but I get always the same error.

[rmco2003]

I have:

libjpeg
libpng
libtiff
SDL
SDL_image
zlib

and it works fine

Uninstall Dev-C++
Re-install latest version
install SDL (ONE STEP, OPEN THIS DEVPAK) http://devpaks.org/details.php?devpak=12

or I'll get mad

Then get mad! It doesn't work. I get cannot find -lSDL_Image.
And I can't install SDL_Image, because of that freakin' stuff! (libjpeg and so on)

Hmmm maybe you should give up until the alpha release?
Or you could try poking around various forums where people have more experience with the MingW GCC variant compilor and the Dev C++ IDE.

Okay...I will try.

[rmco2003]

you have to install the required libs in a certain order, look at their requirements

[BesideTheVoid]

Ok, I'm not mad.
Here's what you do next:
go to google and search for each of these devpaks and install them:

SDL_image devpak
libz devpak
libjpeg devpak

or any others, until the errors go away

[Vradash]

It works now...thank you!

(And its freakin' funny! 99% CPU Usage and so on... xD)
