Error while compiling with SDL

I followed this [wiibrew.org] and then tried the code number 2 here [wiibrew.org]. I have changed the make file lib to "LIBS := -lSDL_ttf -lSDL_gfx -lSDL_mixer -lSDL_image -lfreetype -ljpeg -lpng -lz -lSDL -lfat -lwiiuse -lbte -logc -lm" as suggested in the tutorial but I get poblems like "can not find -lfreetype".

What I am doing wrong?

Install the freetype library.

And how do I do that?

I don't think the code makes use of freetype, so you can remove -lfreetype from the library list.

The same way you install any other library.

Find the library.

Download it.

Unzip it.

Put the *.h files in the include folder inside the libogc folder.

Put the *.a files in the lib folder inside the libogc folder.

Thanks, got it working!

Actually that advice is outdated. You should download the libs from [sourceforge.net] and place them in c:\devkitPro\portlibs\ppc, not in the libogc folder.

Depending on how the project's makefile is set-up, couldn't my advice be perfectly applicable?

People can put their libraries in c:\Windows, but I wouldn't advise that either. It's still bad advice, better advice would be to update the makefile.

I personally think it's easier to have all of the libs lumped together in one folder (I understand it's 'incorrect' because some libs are not part of libogc so they shouldn't be in the libogc folder). But to each his own. The only right answer to set-up your project however it's easiest for you.
