Need Help Setting Up SDL With PellesC

[grofaz]

What does this mean ??

> polink.exe -subsystem:console -machine:ix86  kernel32.lib advapi32.lib delayimp.lib SDL.lib SDLmain.lib -out:"C:\PellesC\Projects\gbcsdl\gbcsdl.exe" C:\PellesC\Projects\gbcsdl\output\gbcsdl.obj
POLINK: warning: Unrecognized option 'manifestdependency:"type='win32''; ignored.
POLINK: fatal error: File not found: 'name='Microsoft.VC80.CRT''.
*** Error code: 1 ***
Done.


Trying to run the SDL init sample code:

#include "SDL/SDL.h"   /* All SDL App's need this */
#include <stdio.h>

int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
   
    printf("Initializing SDL.\n");
   
    /* Initialize defaults, Video and Audio */
    if((SDL_Init(SDL_INIT_VIDEO|SDL_INIT_AUDIO)==-1)) {
        printf("Could not initialize SDL: %s.\n", SDL_GetError());
        exit(-1);
    }

    printf("SDL initialized.\n");

    printf("Quiting SDL.\n");
   
    /* Shutdown all subsystems */
    SDL_Quit();
   
    printf("Quiting....\n");

    exit(0);
}

How do I get this to build ??

Thanks,
grofaz

Microsoft.VC80.CRT... I suspect your project have dependencies on Visul C++ 2005 run-time library. Are you trying to compile a VC++ 2005 project on PellesC?

There is a Mingw32 package that might work better here:

No. Just SDL using a console project template.

I'll try it out, but I've never run into this problem before setting up SDL. BTW it's the linker that is firing the error.

Probably SDL has the dependency on VC80.CRT.

If you have the source you should be able to recompile with a different C runtime library.

Yeah, I kind of thought about that today. I'll try building the source code in PellesC from scratch. Thanks man!

grofaz,

VC80.CRT comes with Visual Studio 2005.

I've been looking for it everywhere, even downloaded Visual Studio 2008, but I can't find it anywhere. What file is it exactly ? And where would it be ? I've run searches of my Windows folder but no joy. Googled the web but still no joy locating a copy. Maybe I should remove VS 2008 and try 2005 ? Very exasperating as I really can't stand VS. PellesC is very nice!

OK. I've rebuilt SDL.lib and SDLmain.lib using Visual Studio 2008 Express so now the sample SDL program wants:

Microsoft.VC90.CRT

Cool!

Now I've run a search and found the following:

Microsoft.VC90.CRT
Microsoft.VC90.CRT.manifest

Great!

Microsoft.VC90.CRT is a folder which contains Microsoft.VC90.CRT.manifest.

How do I tell POLINK where to look ? I've tried adding the directory to Project/Project Options/Folders but it doesn't do the trick.

Getting closer but still not through the hoop. I need a nudge!

Thank you dancho, you're the Man! Works!

np,
and I can recommend LazyFoo tutorials for SDL game programming...

[grofaz]

Yeah, they're great! Will Pelles C c++ add-in allow for c++ code or do you need to translate Lazy Foos stuff into straight C code ?
