Unable to find #include "SDL.h"

Question

I have been compiling a code given by Lazy Foo tutorials n after building up, its showing:-

Fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'SDL.h': No such file or directory

What should I do next? I have followed the procedure given by the tutorials and I don't think I have missed anything.

Answer 1

Go to http://www.libsdl.org/download-1.2.php and scroll down to "Development Libraries". Get the one needed by you, in this case, you need SDL for Windows i suppose? and place it in your lib of Visual Studio.

Answer 2

Old thread, but for those who continue to run into this; when you're setting the VC++ Directories, I'm betting the Configuration dropdown at the top of the window was set to "Debug" (That's what happened to me). Change it to "Release" and then add the paths again...
