C SDL2 Example

A setup of SDL2 with all the libraries available in the project folder.

Setup

To compile the program use:

make

To run it:

./bin/main

To clear compiled files:

make clean

Tip

If VS Code is not detecting the path to SDL add them to the path by adding "${workspaceFolder}/include" in the Microsoft C/C++ Extension.

Examples

main.c

blank_window.c

Troubleshooting

The Zed Editor does not find SDL2

The Zed editor might have difficulties finding SDL2 in the include folder. To fix this, you'll need to use absolute paths in your .clangd file. To get the absolute path:

1. Change directory to your project folder
2. Use pwd to get the absolute path
3. Create a .clangd file in your project root that looks similar to this:

CompileFlags:
  Add:
    - "-I/Users/username/Projects/my-project"
    - "-I/Users/username/Projects/my-project/include"
    - "-I/Users/username/Projects/my-project/include/SDL2"

Replace /Users/username/Projects/my-project with the output from your pwd command.
