Using SDL2_gfx issues using C++
- by Lance Zimmerman
When I use the it with the common.c /common.h files that come with it, if I use the cpp instead of c extension using VS201X I get the LNK2019: unresolved external symbol _SDL_main
What that means is if I change the file containing main to test.c it compiles. When I change it back to text.cpp it fails to compile.
I think that means it only works as a C compile.
Here is the code I copied from SDL2_gfxPrimitives.c. (Spaces added so they would show up.)
#include < stdio.h>
#include < stdlib.h>
#include < string.h>
#include < math.h>
#include < time.h>
#include "common.h"
#include "SDL2_gfxPrimitives.h"
static CommonState *state;
int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
/* Initialize test framework */
state = CommonCreateState(argv, SDL_INIT_VIDEO);
return 1;
}
I need to use the library in C++ but it seems I don't know enough to figure out how.
Any help would be appreciated, I've spent two days attempting to figure this out.
