I just want to program is that too much to ask for? I'm trying to link SDL_mixer into eclipse C++ on my mac. I get bunch of undefined reference for SDL_mixer functions. Please anyone able to help, help!!!

I can't particularly help you with your question, but you should know you're not likely to get much help with such a vague problem description.

Put up the exact errors you get, and describe the steps you have taken so far to link, maybe you'll get more help that way.

The errors :

The steps I took to link SDL_mixer on eclipse C++ on my mac OS X




1) Download SDL_mixer.dmg

2) Included it inside SDL.framework which is located in my system/library/frameworks

3) In Eclipse, I went to Project->properties, under GCC C++ compiler -- Includes , I added the SDL_mixer.h directory

4) Test run, I get undefined reference errors[ logical since it does not know where to find its definition ]




Right now I'm trying to add SDL_mixer executable[ which I assume is the .lib file ] that is located in system/library/frameworks/SDL.frameworks/SDL_mixer.frameworks/

but I'm getting no luck. It shouldn't be complicated to add external libraries, but somehow I'm making it as if it were.

Wow I got it, and it was soo stupid. I inserted SDL_mixer.framework inside of SDL.framework just so I could have it in the same director but that caused some problem I guess. So I added SDL_mixer.framework in the same directory as SDL.framework and not inside SDL.framework and now it works. So in all these are the steps I took to link SDL_mixer in eclipse C++ on MAC OS X

1) Download SDL_mixer.dmg for mac
2) Now copy or transfer the SDL_mixer.framework folder into the directory /System/libraries/Frameworks/
3) Now in eclipse go into Project->preference
4) Under C/C++ Build , Under Settings , click on the Miscellaneous tab
5) In the Linker Flags add "-framework SDL_mixer" without the quotes. This should be where you have -framework SDL as well
6) Now under GCC C++ compiler section, under 'includes'
- add the directory where your SDL_mixer.framework is[ if you followed step 1, it should be something like "/System/Library/Frameworks/SDL_mixer.framework" ]
- add the directory where SDL_mixer.h is located, it will be something like "/System/Library/Frameworks/SDL.framework/SDL_mixer.framework/Versions/A/Headers" if you followed step 1

7) Now the headers and frameworks are setup, you should have no linkage errors


I wrote the above step for reference for other people in the future, as I know sometimes linkage problems give so much trouble.
