I quit. This is too stupid. There is no .zip file with source code for SDL_ttf version 1.2 - see the list. Another thing that's wrong with the libsdl website is when you go here and click "SDL TTF for SDL 1.2" it takes you to a page which only shows SDL 2 downloads, not SDL 1.2 which is what it's supposed to be. I'm going to forget about programming until I start the course, then I'll learn from scratch like everybody else. I'm not going to install something from a broken website. We should all expect better than that.
Project is missing SDL_mixer.h; I add it and the compiler gives 77 errors
Well, SDL 2.0 has been out for a long while now and although I have never used it from what I have heard it's much better than its predecessor. You cannot really expect deprecated stuff to remain around indefinitely.
Also, I now have the strong suspicion your unresolved externals have a very different source than linking or not linking SDL mixer. Most likely it depends on some Windows multimedia functions which you have to link as well. Of course that would have been immediately obvious had you posted the actual error messages. Which you unfortunately did not.
On a personal note, this is the second time you go towards blaming the tool in this thread. A decent programmer does not blame the tool until he has understood the whole problem and exhausted all options. Placing the blame on the tool early and often is a good way to tick people off and receive less and less help in the future.

I just realised I can use CTRL + A to copy all the error output. I thought it was only possible to copy per line and that there was an output file somewhere.
I don't want to waste too much time on this but here's the error report. I restored my project and my SDL folder from the recycle bin and these look identical to the errors I had earlier:

I'm not familiar with SDL but my guess would be these errors have nothing to do with SDL but originate in whatever framework your book supplies, probably because utility code it expects is not compiled/linked together.
Only the IntelliSense errors mentions SDL (and they seem to indicate include directories or folder structure errors).
The main bulk of your errors do not seem to refer to SDL at all. Like BitMaster says, it's probably something from your book/framework that needs to be setup/linked differently.

Okay that's weird I was under the impression that the code in the book was good. I'm not sure what the heck "utility code" means. On things not being linked, I ignorantly assume BitMaster is talking about header files or other includes not being linked from within the source code itself (#includes) - OR it's to do with the project settings in Visual Studio. Which one?
Not to sound like d***, but what you describing are the basis for c++ compiling/linking and you need to understand this before trying complex bits. There is a ton of resources on the web which explain how compiling and linking work, how to include library, etc. There is no shortcut in C++, all is hard and takes many years to get even decent in it.
Maybe, try different languages first, like python, C#, Java, etc and see how you like. You can the concentrate on making the game and not fighting tools.
As far a source code from book, most of literature which comes in with source, are riddled with errors and missing dependencies and many times do not work out of the box.
Said a little differently, something somewhere needs to provide all of these:
"public: bool Image::load(char * const,int,int)"
"public: void Image::free(void)"
"public: void Graphics::drawRect(int,int,int,int,int,int,int)"
"public: void Graphics::clear(int,int,int)"
"public: bool Input::keyDown(int)"
"public: bool Input::keyHit(int)"
"public: bool Input::mouseHit(int)"
"public: int Input::getMouseX(void)"
"public: int Input::getMouseY(void)"
"public: void Input::hideCursor(bool)"
...
etc.
These are probably in a library or other source code provided in your book. You have pointed to the header files that declare they exist, but you did not provide the linker with the actual function bodies or definitions.
They might be a collection of .cpp files or they might be a .lib or .dll or some other file.
If they are coming from SDL, and I don't know SDL enough to know if that's what it is looking for or not, then they might come with SDL's libraries.
Somewhere those functions are implemented, and you need to tell your linker where they are.

SDL functions/enums/structs are all prefixed with "SDL_".

I've discovered there's an SDL2 version of the demo code so I will try that... after reading some fundamentals. I have a Blitz Max license but I still want to do C++. After all, I just paid for a book that uses C++.
C# and Java I'll use next year

Keyboard events and image loading is specific to SDL. It looks like those are user-made functions in the example code, which call bits of SDL.

Thanks for the suggestions everyone. I'm going to try the SDL2 version of this program when I get around to it. If I really have to then I'll stop using example programs and write my own from scratch, then I can fix errors as I go. Blitz Max is looking like a good option. One day when I work out how to do these things I'll pay it back to other newbies.
