Hi there, I have installed FEDORA 16 Recently. I am learning graphics in c programming.
I have installed SDL using:
sudo yum install SDL*
sudo yum groupinstall 'Development Tools'

On compiling I am getting lot of undefined references to SDL_Init, MapRGB, LockSurface, UnlockSurface etc..

I am clueless. please tell me how to solve this problem..

thanks in advance

you might want to read the gcc porting guides for the VERY VERY VERY new gcc4.6 in fedora 16
http://gcc.gnu.org/
http://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-4.6/
http://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-4.6/changes.html
code that is no longer supported in 4.6
http://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-4.5/changes.html#obsoleted

most programs WILL need to be hacked in order to build with gcc 4.6


welcome to life using fedora
fedora is almost always way too new for most things .
MOST programs WILL need some editing/hacking to build in fedora 16

googling the errors will help you and point you in the right direction .

But then you should already know this from the research you did on just what fedora is , before you installed it.

SDL_Init : A symbol in libSDL.so. Package name = SDL-devel

MapRGB : The same.

LockSurface : Not found in any SDL library. ( SDL_LockSurface is present.)
Same for UnlockSurface. The symbol name is SDL_UnlockSurface.


About gcc : Install compat-gcc-34-c++.
Use with e.g. : ./configure CC=gcc34 CXX=g++34
Or : make CC=gcc34 CXX=g++34

.

actually it was an error of 'missing path to library' .. SDL libraries were outside the standard lib folder.. I added the SDL library path in the compile command and it worked very well... thanks a lot..
