I am using C and building a game I have tried every forum out there. Most seem to be in C++ and I would like to use SDL2 with C. I am using gcc compiler and the furthest I got was for it to compile with GCC but no window would appear. I did not code this, I grabbed it from a tutorial. I have tried with brew and the framework.
Could somebody please walk me through the install process to get it working either with gcc or xcode
EDIT: On Catalina 10.15.6
thanks
Okay, I figured it Out, those who are also having trouble you can here is my solution,
You download and install the framework into Library/Frameworks then once you are done that you will be able to compile using gcc with this command
gcc main.c -o run -I/Library/Frameworks/SDL2.framework/Headers -F/Library/Frameworks -framework SDL2 -I/Library/Frameworks/SDL2_image.framework/Headers -F/Library/Frameworks -framework SDL2_image
How ever as I mentioned before you can get the code to compile without a window appearing so here is the solution full credit to the forums and the User Sjr
https://discourse.libsdl.org/t/sdl2-compiles-but-doent-open-a-window-when-run/26867
and here is a link to how I got the compiler to work
The compile command is different so look in the comments the reply by ikokujin to the comment by Phraggers with a couple edits by me to include gcc -o run
Hope this info help's everyone who was stuck on this in their sdl2 project on Mac.
