I am working on a game and recently made the transition from SDL 1.2 to SDL2 (kinda late to the party but heh). Despite having no compilation or linking error whatsoever, the program crashed on launch while stating (translated from French) "The application failed to start up correctly". At first I thought it was my own fault, but then I got suspicious and put together a quick SDL2 test, which indeed after flawless compilation crashed on launch.
Here is the code I've been using for this example (you can't make it more simple) :
#include <SDL.h>
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
return 0;
}
And the compilation line is g++ main.cpp -ISDL2-2.0.4\x86_64-w64-mingw32\include\SDL2 -LSDL2-2.0.4\x86_64-w64-mingw32\lib -lmingw32 -lSDL2main -lSDL2 -otest.exe -fpermissive -std=c++11 -Wno-write-strings -Wno-overflow
For what it's worth :
> g++ --version
