[SOLVED] SDL 2 C Compiler Flags

Issue

Whenever I run the following, I get undefined references to all the SDL-related functions used in my program:

cc -lSDL2 -lGL *.o

I believe this is caused by the lack of -l linker flags.

Solution

GCC arguments are positional, put the link flags after your o files:

gcc *.o -lSDL2 -lGL

Also, if you're on a proper full Linux system I'd recommend using pkg-config to pull compiler/linker flags:

gcc -c main.c `pkg-config sdl2 --cflags`
gcc main.o `pkg-config sdl2 --libs`
