Bug in SDL project wizard?

<< < (2/2)

--- Quote from: mkborregaard on November 08, 2007, 08:38:54 pm ---I have a consistent problem trying to launch SDL projects in code::blocks.
When asked to specify the folder in which I have placed SDL, I get the error: "The folder seems valid, but this wizard could not find the file SDL.h in it".
The file is in there, in a subfolder ("include"). Is this a problem with the wizard?

CB Checks the include directory inside the specified SDL base directory (or root), but if you do as i did and unzip the SDL files as theyr are packaged, they will be placed in SDL_root\include\SDL, CB doesn't recognise them there. I copied them out to SDL_root\include and SDL templates and projects seem to run fine.

EDIT: Just read the better solution 2 posts up  :P

We are in March 2010 and the bug is still there in the SDL wizard : The first time I launched the wizard, a panel opened asking me to specify the search directories for SDL lib. I thought if I leave them empty it will select the default settings. These default setting are probably wrong and now this extra panel never shows up again.

I had to duplicate the header files both in include/. and include/sdl/. to fix the problem and keep my former projects working.

It's not a big deal but all theses bugs in CB Wizards always discouraged me from using CodeBlocks despite I'm glad this tool exists.

The patch I used about 6 to 12 months ago; feel free to submit to BerliOS with your name on it; I do not have the time and energy to test & maintain patches.

Note, It needs tested to verify it still works and was never tested on Linux.
