Title: Problem compiling SDL app
Post by: Mr. Awesome on November 10, 2005, 11:45:42 pm

I just downloaded Code::Blocks and am trying a few things out.  So far, everything is working great, except for the SDL application template.  Whenever I try to compile it, I get an error that says:

Warning: .drective `/DEFAULTLIB: "uuid.lib" /DEFAULTLIB: "uuid.lib" /DEFAULTLIB: "MSVCRT" /DEFAULTLIB: "OLDNAMES" ' unrecognized

Could this have something to do with the fact that my SDL libs are all .lib files instead of .a files?  That didn't make a difference with Dev-C++, though.  Any help would be appreciated.

This is just a warning and, yes, it is displayed because you 're using a MS .lib file. It works though, doesn't it?

Actually, no it doesn't work.  I hit run but it just says that the project hasn't been built yet.  Do I really need to switch my libs?

Well, I just switched the libraries to regular .a files, and now it works fine.  Still one question: how do you get rid of the console window?

how do you get rid of the console window?

Project -> Properties -> targets -> select the target in question -> set from "Console application" to "GUI appliciation"
Or something like that. The first step can also be replaced by right-clicking a project in the manager bar.
