SDL2/SDL_mixer.h: no such file ro directory

[rpherman]

I tried make with GCC 4.8.4 on my Ubuntu 14.10 box 64-bit, and I have SDL2 and SDL2-mixer and SDL2-net previously installed including libsdl2-dev. Is it simply renaming the file to something else? SDL_mixer to SDL2-mixer? PS: I bought your book, so I was pleasantly surprised to stumble upon Corange!

Maybe they changed the header location - not sure, you can try renaming it as you say or perhaps you can check in your include folder to see what the mixer header is called.

Thanks for buying the book also!

Sorry, I am new to this (that's why I bought your book ;) ). The Corange SDL2 folder has SDL_local.c, but no SDL_local.h or SDL_mixer.h. OR am I supposed to find the libsdl-dev on my machine and look for headers? Thanks!

Hey,

I checked and I think you just need to run sudo apt-get install libsdl2-mixer-dev and it should install the headers for the mixer library. After that you can see that SDL_mixer.h is in /usr/include/SDL2.

Hope that helps,

Yes, doing that and libsdl2-mixer-dev too allowed it to compile. Thanks! I did the libsdl2-dev install, per the instructions on your page, but since I had SDL-mixer and SDL2-net installed, I didn't do the dev files for them. The Windows instruction note gives it away...

Now where to next? Do I just cd to a demo direcotry and do make again before I try using the framework? Thanks.

Yup, that should be the next step! I'll update the instructions in the README.
