[Fedora] Compiling a SDL project

[t i l e x]

Hi guys. I'm currently running both Windows XP and Fedora Core. I tried compiling a simple SDL project (only calling SDL_Init() ) and then I get bazillions of errors telling it can't find "name_of_all_SDL_functions". How can I fix this problem ? I have compiled my project with the following line:

c++ main.cpp -lSDL -lSDLmain -o myproject

What's wrong ?

Just what are some of the bazillion errors you're getting?

[schloob]

#include <SDL/SDL.h>

..? it's case sensitive

Do you mean to say it works on XP but not Linux?

Just what are some of the bazillion errors you're getting?

SDL_Init() in some_file.c is undefined...

@ schloob: I will try that.

Oh well, I just checked the source and already had it capitalized. As for the exact error type:

"SDL_fbevents.c: undefined reference to '__ctype_b' /usr/lib/gcc/i386-redhat-linux/4.0.0/../../../libSDL.a(SDL_fbelo.o)(.text+0x517) : In function 'eloSendQuery':"

I get this type of error for all the functions of the SDL library.

Minor help, I'm sure, but apparently there was a bug in the gcc release for debian a couple years ago that produced the same error for no reason. It was fixed in an update to the libc6 module, or whatever. You might check bug logs of your linux flavour and see if it has a fix.
