I try to run simple test.cpp from Twinklebar SDL tutorial, I get this error:
test.cpp:2:10: fatal error: 'SDL2/SDL.h' file not found So I look up the sdl development package in Ubuntu/Mint:
aptitude search sdl | grep 2 All I can find is this:
libsdl1.2-dev Does this mean my only option is to install from sources?
889
SDL can be found in /usr/local/lib instead of /usr/lib , which is where I was pointed to after online research.
Visit http://libsdl.org/index.php, go to Download, and click on the latest version; at the time of writing this book, SDL 2.0 was the latest version. Once you have clicked on the latest version, you may either want to download the development libraries or the runtime libraries.
Introduction to SDL SDL officially supports Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, iOS, and Android.
It depends which Ubuntu version you are running but yes, there is a libsdl2 package for Ubuntu: http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=sdl2
The package you want is called libsdl2-dev.
Also, about the #include <SDL/SDL.h> line, it seems the recommended way doing it is by adjusting your compiler flags to add SDL's include pah and use #include "SDL.h". See https://forums.libsdl.org/viewtopic.php?t=5997 for more details on that.
