[SOLVED] Using SDL in XCode
Author
Hi, newbie here.
I just started using XCode/C++ a few days ago, and thus don't know too much about it. One of the problems I have at this moment is adding a libary, in my case the SDL (SimpleDirect Media Layer) to my Xcode project. Right now, when I import the SDL framework. However, I get the error:
try #include <SDL/SDL.h>
also there might be an issue in the SDLMain file, I can't remember exactly but if you get any more errors just replace 'sdlfilename.h' with <SDL/sdlfilename.h>, all this is assuming you've added SDL.framework to your project

For some reason, it compiles fine now, but I get this error:
The apps code is:
Please help.

The apps code is:
#include <iostream>#include <SDL/SDL.h>using namespace std;int main() { if (SDL_Init(SDL_INIT_VIDEO) == -1) { cout << "Could not initalize SDLVideo!"; } else { cout << "SDL Initalized!"; }}Please help.
have you included SDL_Main? try adding
#include <SDL/SDL_main.h>
also, you will need to put the files SDLMain.m and SDLMain.h to you project, they should be included with your download of SDL
#include <SDL/SDL_main.h>

hmm that is strange, I would try reinstalling SDL, and trying a new XCode project, are you using the SDL application templates, or starting your project from scratch?

I started the project from scratch. Here is how it looks (in case it might help tracking down the mistake)

well I notice you don't have SDLMain.m in there, this file is actually pretty important because of the way SDL works. What it does is defines it's own main function (which does a lot of setup before you even get to your own main function let alone your call to SDL_Init) it also has a define that looks like this:
#define main SDL_main
this changes your functions name so that your apps real entry point is in SDLMain.m,
I am a little surprised that your compiler isn't complaining about "_main" being undefined
#define main SDL_main

There's only SDL_main.h, no SDLMain.m file in the framework. So, this means I should get the SDL_main.h file out of the framework? Thanks for your help so far btw.
actually, if you download the file under 'development libraries' from the SDL site, there should be a folder inside callde 'SDLMain', in there you want the folder 'NIBless', and there should be SDLMain.m, and SDLMain.h
Glad to help, I remember how much of a headache I had when I tried setting this up for my first time as well :D
