[C++] SDL2 - Undefined references to functions at school

[peter_irich]

Functions with very similar names are in library libSDL2-2.0.so.0 -> libSDL2-2.0.so.0.2.0 in package libsdl2-2.0-0.
For examlpe, SDL_RenderCopy but not Renderer, SDL_CreateRGBSurfaceFrom. Check your source.

Code: Select all

commodorejohn@devuan:~$ gcc sdltest.c `sdl2-config --cflags --libs` -o sdltest
/tmp/ccCtWq9W.o: In function `main':
sdltest.c:(.text+0x15f): undefined reference to `SDL_CreateRGBSurfaceWithFormat'
sdltest.c:(.text+0x2c2): undefined reference to `SDL_RendererFillRect'
sdltest.c:(.text+0x326): undefined reference to `SDL_RendererCopy'
sdltest.c:(.text+0x341): undefined reference to `SDL_RendererPresent'
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

I really don't understand why this is happening. Any advice on resolving this issue?

What is the output of:

Code: Select all

sdl2-config --cflags --libs

And what is the contents of your sdltest.c source code?

Thank you, well-spotted. The "render"/"renderer" typo was the bulk of it, and the other problem was that I was going off the SDL wiki without noticing that SDL_CreateRGBSurfaceWithFormat wasn't added until 2.0.5. It builds and runs without issue now.
