CAN SOMEONE JUST EXPLAIN HOW TO USE THIS

[LGenAgul]

Please someone just explain to me like you would to a 5 year old how to use this damn program because I can not set this up, I've been trying all week and couldn't find any tutorial on the internet that was not vague or confusing

What's your dev environment? Windows? Linux? macOS? Which compiler / tool chain are you using, and are you using an IDE? There are a few ways to use the library, but it depends on how you are developing.

i have the same problem, it says "undefined reference to tmx::Map::load....." and how do i get the tiles, with "tileson" i can get the tiles but tileson doesnt load the map correctly (says "Missing map data...")

[fallahn]

'undefined reference' means that you've either not linked the library (if you've build tmxlite as a library) or not included the source files in your project. How you do that depends on your compiler and IDE/Editor.

but how do i link the library? if i add -ltmxlite it doesn't work

[fallahn]

Do you have it installed somewhere? Did you build it from source? It shouldn't be any different from linking any other library.

i did sudo make install from here https://github.com/fallahn/tmxlite/wiki/Quick-Start but now (i added -ltmxlite) it says error while loading shared libraries: libtmxlite.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Ah OK. It will have installed to /usr/lib so make sure that's in your library path when linking. The header files will be in /usr/include

it is not in /usr/lib

Sorry, /usr/local/lib - you should have had something like this when you installed it:
