[Solved] SDL library technical error

[zircle]

Text is redirected to a textfile in the same directory as the executable.

The following code compiles with 0 errors. However, when running the program, as long as "#include "SDL/SDL.h" is included, the program does not output.

Code: Select all

#include <iostream>
#include "SDL/SDL.h"
int main( int argc, char* args[] )
{
std::cout << "fasdddasdfdusaasdfcker";
//Start SDL
SDL_Init( SDL_INIT_EVERYTHING );
    
//Quit SDL
SDL_Quit();
return 0;
}

I've extracted the SDL folder into my C:\ directory and I think I have properly linked them up to CodeLite.

Compiler:

Linker:

Here is the output that I get:

I can think of stdout redirection by SDL..

have you tried writing to stderr? how about adding std::endl at the end of the std::cout ?

Code: Select all

std::cerr << "Hello" << std::endl;

If you remove the SDL does this still happens? (remove the include + libraries)

Fast response.. <3

The line of code you gave me doesn't work.

If I remove the "#include "SDL/SDL.h" and comment out all the SDL functions, it works fine.

If I remove the linked libraries and includes (but "SDL/SDL.h" is still #include(d)):

Code: Select all

hrm.. I moved the Options field to the Libraries field:

Code: Select all

mingw32;SDL;SDLmain

and I get this:

C:/SDL-1.2.15/lib/libSDLmain.a(SDL_win32_main.o): In function `redirect_output':

I am not SDL expert, but this line is the source of your problem: SDL redirects the stdout output to somewhere... (try searching google for SDL redirection, for example: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5877 ... -c-windows)

For the rest:
Its not really related to codelite... its more of SDL issues

Ah, you are right.

I was fiddling around with it and it turns out that the order of the linker needs to be in this order:

Code: Select all

lmingw32;lSDLmain;lSDL

and all console output is redirected to a textfile(".txt") in the executable folder. As long as SDL works, I guess it is alright.

Thanks for your help.
