I now have another problem xP with my C++ and SDL.
Im now learning to use the ttf library and Ive linked all the libraries together, and theirs no issues with the compiler trying to find the functions or anything, but when I try to load a font, the ttf_openfont command cant find "lazy.ttf" and returns null, so I end up with the message that the program returned 4, meaning the font failed to load.
Any help as to why the program cant find the font?
Thanks!
Heres the source for it:
