I'm trying to follow Lazy Foo's tutorials. But when I try to run one of his examples I get this compiler error:
error: SDL/SDL_image.h: No such file or directory
The compiler/linker is set up correctly, I'm using Code::Blocks on Windows XP.
However, the problem is simply that there are no SDL_image.h. I've checked in the folder that it supposedly should have been. I tried to download the SDL library again and checked again, still no SDL_image.h file. Where did the SDL_image.h file go?
The library I dowloaded was the 'SDL-devel-1.2.14-mingw32.tar.gz' under 'Development Libraries' for Win32 from this link: http://www.libsdl.org/download-1.2.php

To use any SDL_image function or data types, we need to include the SDL_image header. We'd have to do the same for SDL_ttf, or SDL_mixer. Now that we're using SDL_image, we need to initialize it. Here we want to initialize SDL_image with PNG loading, so we pass in the PNG loading flags into IMG_Init.
You need to install SDL_image separately. It's not shipped with SDL.
