SDL 1.3/2.0 setting up

Question

I have been using sdl 1.2 for the past several months(On windows).I am thinking about migrating to 1.3. So I used cmake and codeblocks to create the static and dynamic libray.now I am confused how to compile the a program.I included the sdl.h header..added the static library in the linker.But when I try to compile lots of undefined errors keep occuring:

What am I missing? :/

Answer 1

I also was searching for an answer to this and, as I couldn't find one, here's what worked for me:

If using mingw as compiler, you have to link to the follow libraries in this order:

-lmingw32 -lSDL2main -lSDL2 -lm -ldinput8 -ldxguid -ldxerr8 -luser32 -lgdi32 -lwinmm -limm32 -lole32 -loleaut32 -lshell32 -lversion -luuid
