Title: SDL - output in console doesn't work
Post by: Feuer on January 07, 2007, 09:24:38 pm

Hi there,
I create an new SDL project and everything is fine.
But, if I want an output trough printf or cout, nothing is in the console. Is there anything wrong, is it generally possible?

If you speak german, you can answer me in german :-)

I believe SDL redirects all output intended for stdout/stderr to files stdout.txt/stderr.txt. Check the folder your program runs in for those files.

Yes it is, just add the following lines to your code (after SDL_Init)

Code

freopen("CON", "w", stdout); // redirects stdout
freopen("CON", "w", stderr); // redirects stderr

There is an even easier way.... SDL has some constant that you can #define so it does not redirect in the first place. I don't remember what the constant was, but it's in the docs somewhere.
