I'd never been able to get SDL working. I followed the tutorial and still get
"[Error] SDL2/SDL.h: No such file or directory"
I checked it and it's certainly there and linked just as instructed.
Please help. I tried both x86_64 and i686 on my 64 bit computer.

I am getting the following error:
[Error] SDL2/SDL.h: No such file or directory
Is there something I am missing??

[Wout]

It works! Thanks :) (I just needed the parameters, that was my problem with installing SDL)

[deadpiece]

i follow the exact tutorial and the problem occur, the program compile with no errors but when i run the program then the SDL2.dll not found message pop out. and i download your hello_SDL.zip file and i run it then again, the SDL2.dll not found message pops . FYI i have dev C++ 5.4.2. any kind of help would be awesome dude.

Why I Always get the erros "undefined rference to SDL_init" or others "undefined reference"?
There is "undefined reference do "WinMain" too. I fixed it changing main into WinMain, but I'd like to know WHY this happens and WHY changing that worked.
And there is a lot of "undefined reference to " and a function of SDL.

Please help ASAP

why did you delete and show us it twice i dont get it

[Spirrwell]

Yeah I'm pretty sure that the other one is 64 bit, I had the same issue. It was a bit confusing. They probably should've labeled it with MinGW64 because if I'm not mistaken, that's what you would need to compile it anyway.

[MrPushuable]

CreateProcess: No such file or directory
Any Ideas??

[GrhumanilationTV]

error no input file? while compiling

[VortexCode]

I am not entirely sure as I do not code in C myself, there may be a wrapper or something check the SDL website

[VortexCode]

Make sure you have linked all of the files up correctly

[VortexCode]

Make sure that you have linked all your things correctly and you follow the tutorial exactly, this may just be a minor error

[VortexCode]

I like to change the scene every now and then you know what I mean ? ;D

[StarLink]

Why change ? D:

[VortexCode]

Read the description I have a fix for that there.
