I'm turning my programming attention towards SDL but I'm running into a few difficulties. I've been following the first tutorial on this website. The program I'm running is below.

Code:
#include <SDL/SDL.h>
#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

void DrawPixel(SDL_Surface *screen, int x, int y, Uint8 R, Uint8 G, Uint8 B);
void Slock(SDL_Surface *screen);
void Sulock(SDL_Surface *screen);

int main(){
   if( SDL_Init( SDL_INIT_VIDEO|SDL_INIT_AUDIO ) < 0 )
   {
      cout << "Unable to init SDL: " << SDL_GetError() << endl;
      return 1;
   }
   atexit(SDL_Quit);
   
   SDL_Surface *screen;
   screen = SDL_SetVideoMode( 640, 480, 32, SDL_HWSURFACE|SDL_DOUBLEBUF );
   
   if ( screen == NULL )
   {
      cout << "Unable to set 640x480 video: " << SDL_GetError() << endl;
      return 1;
   }
   
   return 0;
}

void DrawPixel(SDL_Surface *screen, int x, int y, Uint8 R, Uint8 G, Uint8 B){
   Uint32 color = SDL_MapRGB(screen->format, R, G, B);
   switch (screen->format->BytesPerPixel)
   {
      case 1: // Assuming 8-bpp
      {
         Uint8 *bufp;
         bufp = (Uint8 *)screen->pixels + y*screen->pitch + x;
         *bufp = color;
      }
      break;
      case 2: // Probably 15-bpp or 16-bpp
      {
         Uint16 *bufp;
         bufp = (Uint16 *)screen->pixels + y*screen->pitch/2 + x;
         *bufp = color;
      }
      break;
      case 3: // Slow 24-bpp mode, usually not used
      {
         Uint8 *bufp;
         bufp = (Uint8 *)screen->pixels + y*screen->pitch + x * 3;
         if(SDL_BYTEORDER == SDL_LIL_ENDIAN)
         {
            bufp[0] = color;
            bufp[1] = color >> 8;
            bufp[2] = color >> 16;
         } else{
            bufp[2] = color;
            bufp[1] = color >> 8;
            bufp[0] = color >> 16;
         }
      }
      break;
      case 4: // Probably 32-bpp
      {
         Uint32 *bufp;
         bufp = (Uint32 *)screen->pixels + y*screen->pitch/4 + x;
         *bufp = color;
      }
      break;
   }
}

void Slock(SDL_Surface *screen){
   if ( SDL_MUSTLOCK(screen) )
   {
      if ( SDL_LockSurface(screen) < 0 )
      {
         return;
      }
   }
}

void Sulock(SDL_Surface *screen){
   if ( SDL_MUSTLOCK(screen) )
   {
      SDL_UnlockSurface(screen);
   }
}


and the output from the compiler looks like this.

Code:
cd '/home/gareth/documents/Programming/C-C++/sdl1/debug' && WANT_AUTOCONF_2_5="1" WANT_AUTOMAKE_1_6="1" make -k
make all-recursive
Making all in src

collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[2]: *** [sdl1] Error 1
make[2]: Target `all' not remade because of errors.
make[2]: Nothing to be done for `all-am'.
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make: *** [all-recursive-am] Error 2
make: Target `all' not remade because of errors.
*** Exited with status: 2 ***


At first I thought the #include <SDL/SDL.h> statement was wrong but upon trying different combinations I got a ton more of errors, this second load of errors was repeated for every combination bar the original file so I'm assuming the statement was correct.

Any help would be appreciated.

Looks like you're not including the SDL libraries in your link... is it a home-brewed makefile ?

I'm using Kdevelop, I started it as a simple hello world.

//edit - I've switched to a simple SDL project and it works now but the question is what has changed. I don't want to be unnecessarily tied to one IDE//

Check the makefile it has generated. I'll bet the new version includes the SDL libraries in the link whereas the old one didn't.
Look for options something like
Code:
 -lSDL -lSDL_mixer

I do have entries along these sorts of lines

LIBSDL_CFLAGS = @LIBSDL_CFLAGS@
LIBSDL_LIBS = @LIBSDL_LIBS@
LIBSDL_RPATH = @LIBSDL_RPATH@

# set the include path found by configure
AM_CPPFLAGS = $(LIBSDL_CFLAGS) $(all_includes)

# the library search path.
sdl1a_LDFLAGS = $(all_libraries) $(LIBSDL_RPATH)
sdl1a_LDADD = $(LIBSDL_LIBS)
mkinstalldirs = $(SHELL) $(top_srcdir)/mkinstalldirs
CONFIG_HEADER = ../config.h
CONFIG_CLEAN_FILES =
bin_PROGRAMS = sdl1a$(EXEEXT)
PROGRAMS = $(bin_PROGRAMS)

but I couldn't find the options mentioned when I greped the makefile.

I'm having trouble with seg faults on the second tutorial but I'll try to solve it myself before I come crying too much.

That's the downside of using an IDE... most of them will try to cater for so many possible situations that the makefiles they produce are horrendous tangles of spaghetti... almost as bad as the ones I write by hand Rolling Eyes
Still, if you're up & running, I'd stick with Kdevelop - switching IDEs mid-project is not for the faint-hearted !
