Hey,

So I have been working in NetBeans for a while, making a space shooter game. I recently tried to transfer it to Visual Studio.

Here's what I did:

I made a new project for the game, and proceeded to make a main.cpp and the class files, etc. After this, I copied + pasted the corresponding code into the copies. They code all recognized the #includes for eachother, but not for SDL, which I find odd.

Here's the GitHub repository

Here's the VS project download

Would really appreciate it if someone could make the needed corrections an re-upload it, but I understand if you want to nudge me in the right direction instead.

Are you sure you added the additional includes correctly to link it to your visual studio version? This and this should help you if those weren't set correctly. As well you may need to adjust your additional library directories as necessary if you are having SDL linker problems. These can be found by right clicking the project, going to properties, and are listed under C/C++. The linker is basically the same process and can be found online as well

There are settings in Visual Studio to tell it where to find additional include and library files. You need to add the SDL include directory to the set of include directories and the SDL lib directory to the set of library directories.

Where you find those options depends on what version of Visual Studio you are using.

It could be Tools->Options->Projects and Solutions->VC++ Directories for older versions. For newer versions see http://www.curlybrace.com/words/2012/12/17/setting-global-c-include-paths-in-visual-studio-2012-and-2011-and-2010/ for a quick how-to.

It still doesn't recognize the SDL files. Here's a screenshot of the project's VC++ Directories: http://gyazo.com/d393ce695ec0c711abf4081a02e4b460

Project's linker (Didn't edit this): http://gyazo.com/920520c4614049b76d0c5d9b1af18c85

And do you also have the correct build type selected? From the screenshots we can see that your have the include directories configured for x86/Win32/debug builds, but if your build configuration is different you need to make sure you have those configured correctly as well.

Hey guys, issue was resolved.

For some reason, all the includes were #include <SDL2/SDL.h>

Odd considering I hadn't modified the code before my computer got refreshed, and it had worked fine.

But I changed it to SDL.h

Also, in SDL, winapifamily.h has an error, so you need to download a new platform file (As of version 2.0.3). Here's the SDL development stuff that I fixed.

The fix is included in the next version (Not out as of now)

You can do it yourself with this
