GCC Compiler Question?
 

Hi, I downloaded a C++ code from the NET, and I would like to know which compiler I need to use, to compile the Code, I tried with GCC and doesnt works me. Thanks A lot.

LINK TO DOWNLOAD THE CODE:

You should ask the author of the code. If there isn't enough documentation to get you started, then he/she should be made aware of that: pedro__santos@iol.pt

Thanks for your reply, I sent to the author of the code the last week an email, he said me that all code was tested in the VC++. But I tried to compile in VC++ and appears me:

Compiling...
main.cpp
c:\documents and settings\root\my documents\c code\sopa\main.cpp(22) : fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'SDL.h': No such file or directory
Error executing cl.exe.

main.obj - 1 error(s), 0 warning(s)

What could be the Problem, and is there a way to compile in Linux with GCC?

Thanks

You dont have the SDL headers or libs installed. The code is looking for the SDL.h header, which is not on your system. This code is c++, which needs to be compiled using g++ on linux.
