Title: Setting Up SDL_ttf
Post by: TimothyS on September 11, 2009, 08:29:56 pm

I'm having some trouble setting up SDL_ttf.  I was trying to follow the tutorial here (http://gpwiki.org/index.php/SDL_ttf:Tutorials:Basic_Font_Rendering), but when I downloaded it neither the source or the binary had a file named "libSDL_ttf.a" or similar.  What am I missing?

Thanks.

Hey I'm not sure if this will work considering I am only just starting to learn this stuff as well, but check out this guy's tutorials:
http://www.lazyfoo.net/SDL_tutorials/index.php

He explain's in lesson 07 at the very beginning that you need to set up your IDE with SDL_ttf so he posts 2 things:
A place to download it: http://www.libsdl.org/projects/SDL_ttf/
And how to set-up extension libraries: http://www.lazyfoo.net/SDL_tutorials/lesson03/index.php

I hope this helps!  :D
