Hi, I first want to say that I am new to C++ Programming and even more new to SDL. I normaly never post on forums but I have a problem and after over 10 hours of research, I still have not find a fix to my problem.
I added the Header files of SDL in the include folder of my compiler (C:\MingW\include) and after adding all the library files of SDL in the lib file of MingW (C:\MingW\lib) like many tutorials told me to do on the Internet. But even though I perfectly linked my compiler to the files using Eclipse I get : cannot find lSDL2 and cannot find lSDL2main when I try to build my program using Eclipse. I am sorry for the poor description of my problem and for the bad usage of the English language.
