Compiling errors

[Surak]

Hello Linux Forums, Since i switched to fedora 10 from Kubuntu, i have had nothing but problems with compiling, first off make wasn't included ( which i got ) second for some reason c++ didnt work and thirdly, the issue i am here to discuss today is, nothing compiles with SDL. i try

gcc -o sdlgame sdlgame.c `sdl-config --cflags --libs`

but it just says SDL not found, so i tried yum -y install SDL it says SDL is latest version. do you guys know how i can get my SDL projects to compile?

tl;dr SDL wont compile.

Hello,

generally, there is a difference between runtime libraries and development packages.

The runtime libraries contain object code so that some program that uses SDL can run.

But if you want to compile a program that uses SDL, you will need more than this. For example, the header files.

See if there is some package called SDL-dev or similar.

Thank you, got "SDL-devel" that seems to work now
