setup SDL2 in Code Blocks | C / C++ | SDL 2 | CodeBlocks

This video demonstrates how to setup SDL2 in Code::Blocks 16.01. But the method is same for most of the versions.

2. Create a new project in Code::Blocks and goto Project-Build Options and configure include directory and libs directory.

3. Type following line in Linker Settings - Other linker settings:

-lmingw32 -lSDL2main -lSDL2

4. Click Ok.

That's it.

Ubuntu users, run this from terminal :
sudo apt-get install libsdl2-dev
Then go to Settings->Compiler->Linker Settings and add :
->SDL2main
->SDL2
To link libraries as also shown in this video.
