Easy to follow. Had mouse properties pop up at first when I ran the example code with "main" but another comment had proposed running ./main.exe instead which worked fine. The issue was that I had a powershell terminal open instead of a cmd terminal. The command "main" in powershell opens mouse properties. You can set a default terminal with Ctrl+Shift+P and search "profile" or just open a new cmd terminal by using the expand arrow next to the new terminal "+" icon

@herbglitch Жыл бұрын
If this is an error when you compile (which it sounds like it it), you need to make sure that the path from where you run the g++ command to your include directory is the same path that you have specified in your -I flag. If those are the same then please make sure there is a sdl2 folder inside your specified include folder, and and sdl.h within that folder. I am really bad at responding to youtube comments as youtube doesn't notify me of replies, if you would like quicker responses and are comfortable with joining a discord, please join my discord and hop into debugging discord.gg/eqz5jHSUy4. else, I can try to keep an eye out on youtube to help. though I am not super sure how frequent that will be.

can you please try running mingw32-make instead of make, and if that doesn't work you might need to install make. Make can be installed from chocolaty (if you have that). I think winget has it as well. or if you don't know either of those, gnuwin has it gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/install.html. I got this link from this stack overflow post stackoverflow.com/questions/32127524/how-to-install-and-use-make-in-windows so I think it is safe, though I would still scan with a virus checker just in case. I am not the best at answering youtube comments, I'll try keeping an eye out, but I am active on discord if you are comfortable with that (link is in the description of this video)

if you are going to use make, you will want to install make for windows and add it to the path. I used this link gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/make.htm (the setup program) for that. and intelisense isn't recognising where your files are, so you will want to update your settings for intelisense to search your workspace folder as well for the headers

@herbglitch 6 ай бұрын
I'm not sure as I haven't looked into it. I'm sure there is a way to compile for 64 bits, but 32 bit should work on a 64 bit machine. If you want to use the 64 bit version, I would recommend using msys2 as they have some 64 bit versions of mingw and you can pull down the sdl2 package with their pacman.

I found this stack overflow a bit ago that talks more about why WinMain error is thrown stackoverflow.com/questions/32342285/undefined-reference-to-winmain16-c-sdl-2. The reason my videos are in windows is it is much harder to set things up there, and I have to figure out how to set stuff up for a friend who works in windows. And for being a beginner, you did really well finding that solution. The first time I tried fixing WinMain (back when I was using windows), it took me days to find a solution.

well, this video was made in 2021, so I'm not sure everything will work the same as it did back when I made the video. I haven't used windows in a couple years so I don't know how they changed that extension. Does your project compile? Do you have another extension handling intellisense (like cmake)? does the path you passed have correct capitalization? If you respond in these comments I'm not sure I'll be notified, and I'm pretty bad at using youtube comments. If you would like help here is my discord server: discord.gg/eqz5jHSUy4 or you can direct message me, my username is herbglitch

I am not positive about how mac's compile. Are you using mingw on your Mac (g++)? If so, I believe it should work.

I get an error when doing the make command: make : The term 'make' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again. At line:1 char:1 + make + ~~~~ + CategoryInfo : ObjectNotFound: (make:String) [], CommandNotFoundException + FullyQualifiedErrorId : CommandNotFoundException I downloaded the gnuwin32, but i didn't get it to work more than that. I tried to set it to path but i did not succed. Do you know what I should do here? Edit: I got it kind of working. When i type main in vscode terminal after make it does not open the program. But if I type .\\main, it opens. Something I can mention is that the exe file from the file explorer has always been working. Edit2: I somehow worked it out, changed terminal

you may need to get make for windows. I believe that winget and chocolaty have it, and it is downloadable from www.gnu.org/software/make/ though you will most likely have to add it to path if downloaded

@@herbglitch What I meant was when you go on sdl2's website to download it, you get 2 options:- one is SDL2-devel-2.0.16-VC.zip (Visual C++ 32/64-bit) and other is SDL2-devel-2.0.16-mingw.tar.gz (MinGW 32/64-bit). So I guess you mean your sol'n would work in Vc zip also?
