Hey, wondering if someone could help me out, I am trying to add SDL2 and having problems. In my project folder I have a folder called deps and in deps I have an include folder with all my h files seperated into GL and SDL folders and I added this to "Compiler include paths" as "deps/include/" (without the quotes). Then there is also a folder called lib contianing .lib files added to "Linker Library search paths" as "deps/lib/" and in "Linker Libraries" I have added "SDL2.lib;SDL2main.lib;glew32.lib". I also have SDL2.dll in my Debug folder

In my main.cpp file I have just have a basic test

Code: Select all

#include <SDL/SDL.h>

int main(int argc, char** argv)
{
	SDL_Init(SDL_INIT_EVERYTHING);
	return 0;
}

When I run this I get the following error stating that the lib files can not be found

Code: Select all

Have I not set my paths up correctly or is there an option I havn't set? I thought maybe the issue could of been with reletive paths, I know in Visual Studio you would set the start of your path as ($SolutionDir) so I tried using that just to see if it would work and I also tried changing the paths to the full path as "C:/Users/EldritchCode/workspace/CodeLiteProjects/SDLworkspace/SDLproject/deps/include{and}lib" and get the same error.

I am running CodeLite 12.0.0 on windows 8.1 and I have installed MinGW and updated it to I believe the latest version through mingw-get.exe, I had previously tried running it on an older version and thought tht might of been an issue, I have also tried using the TDM version that you can download through CodeLite. I am also using SDL 2.0.0
