Hi there, I came here after searching a lot of articles/forums/tutorials on how to set up SDL 2.0( I have 2.03) in Dev-C++. I have tried all the steps provided in different tutorials over and over such as

There was this code written in tutorial to check if SDL is set up correctly or not:

#include "SDL/SDL.h"

int main( int argc, char* args[] )
{
    //Start SDL
    SDL_Init( SDL_INIT_EVERYTHING );
    
    //Quit SDL
    SDL_Quit();
    
    return 0;    
}

And when I compile it, the following errors show up.

And even if I write code for a Hello world program, it compiles and then nothing happens.
Any help would be appreciated. I just hope this is not a wrong board to post such a question.

You really can't go wrong posting in the "Beginner's" forum. :-)

From the error, it looks like you haven't got the header file folder configured correctly.

In the video, the include statement is #include "SDL2/SDL.h", not #include "SDL/SDL.h". It's not that simple is it? Did you forget the '2'?

I tried the '2' and it worked, I guess I didn't really pay attention to that part!
When I compile it, it opens the new source file and shows this http://pastebin.com/gsmJMj9t
I guess this was it, thanks a lot for your help.

Not sure if this is still the case or not but I believe Dev C++ has been abandoned. Most people recommend using Code::Blocks or Visual Studio. I've used all three and would say Code::Blocks has better features than Dev C++. Visual Studio has become my favorite although it can be intimidating at first.

He just had a typo, missing a "2". No other IDE would have prevented that, because thats usually a problem with unreadable text in video tutorials.
