I have all the linkers in there. I set it up just how lazyfooproductions tutorials said, but it always says "C:\Dev-Cpp\Makefile.win [Build Error] [2sdl.exe] Error 1" If someone will please help, it will be great.

What is the full error?

No, it didn't work. I am using DEV C++ unless that could be useful for anyones input. By the way, thanks for trying. Here are the linkers I used:

Thanks.

You are trying so thanks. But no, it isn't working. What compiler are you using? I don't know if that could have anything to do with it. Thanks.

I don't know. I think I do. But, you never know. I will check.

Is your project set to multithreaded dll? Not sure how to do that in Dev C++.
