Cannot find -lSDLmain and -lSDL when compiling sim

问题:

I installed SDL2 for mingw using this guide. However, when i try to compile using the compilation syntax and test code they provide, only with my own file names, I get the error shown here. I assume that this error has something to do with a problem in the way I installed SDL, as the installation instructions did not exactly match the files with which I was provided, but I did my best to follow them. Could they problem be something else? If not what is the correct way to install SDL2 for mingw?

Note: I do have the SDL2.dll file in the sdltest folder where I try to compile the program.

回答1:

One way to let MinGW know where your SDL libraries are would be to create environment variable named "LIBRARY_PATH" with the value as the path to the directory containing the libraries. Similarly, you can have "CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH" for the headers as well.

Did you follow step 2 of that tutorial ?
