I'm glad this video helped. Just as a heads up, I found msys2 after making this video and I think it is the easiest way to install packages on windows (if you are using mingw). That might be easier to work with if you ever run into issues installing packages. I hope you have fun programming :)
Great tutorial man. Had a lot of trouble finding good info about this. I have an issue with the final steps. The debugger tells me that SDL libraries like SDL.h SDL_image.h etc. cant be found. As far as i understand how this works, cmakelists should help main find the libraries, but it isn't. Maybe i should add them manually into a directory? I mean copying the include folders and lib folders of both SDL2 and SDL2_image and then putting this folder on the project?? Thanks
if you have them installed, they should be picked up with target_include_directories, though if those includes are not working, you should be able to do something like target_include_directories(myproject PUBLIC "C:/path/to/include/dir/here"). I am good to help debug on discord if you would be chill with that
Would you be alright with using msys2? they have a clang version that can use packages installed with the msys2 shell. I suck at responding to youtube messages, so if you would like help with any of this, please hit me up on discord, I'm happy to help. My server is discord.gg/eqz5jHSUy4 and my username is herbglitch
I'm fully lost now with 3.0, and this is the only source getting me anywhere because the guides from SDL also are off for me. When installing with mingw32 it breaks early on like at 12%. Trying to follow the sdl's recommendation on github it stops at being unable to find sdl3.dll. trying to get this to work for use in kdevelop. And then gotta work with getting img, mixer and tff to work too.
if you are alright with using discord (I'm bad at using youtube comments), I can try to help out. I think setting SDL3 as a submodule in cmake might be the easiest way of going about using it on windows (at least what I think would be easiest for me to help setup). Here is my channel discord.gg/eqz5jHSUy4 , or if you would rather dm me, my username is herbglitch
The latest release for SDL is 2.28.5, and this should hopefully still work if you download the zip of 2.28.5 from the releases page on github. Though a better way to go about packages that I found after this video is to use msys2 and their package manager. Please hit me up on discord if you would like help setting up msys2 or building sdl2. The SDL_image.h has to do with either the -I flag not pointing to the right location, or the target_include_directories not finding the right headers. I can help with either of those on discord as well. youtube comments are a nightmare for me to navigate. I also have a matrix account if you don't like discord (i'm still trying to learn how to use it though). my matrix profile is @herbglitch:matrix.org
It looks like sdl_ttf and sdl_mixer would be relatively hard to setup with this method as there are some dependencies that might not be easy to work with on windows. However, MSYS2 has packages for all of the sdl stuffs, and might be easier to install the cmake packages. I am still messing around with it, so I am not positive it will work, but it looks promising
If you installed the libraries like we did in this video, I would assume that you would need to install some more of the external libraries in sdl_image to get webp working. I don't know all that much bout Visual Studio, so I am not confident that is the issue though.
@@herbglitch I was using wrong webp file, was using animated one, do you have any tutorial for animated webp? I already manage animated gif, but webp is a little confuse to me. Tks
I do not have a tutorials on webp, and sadly wont be able to make one in the near future. I did however come across this thread for SDL_Image in github: github.com/libsdl-org/SDL_image/issues/314, it looks like you might need to do something in VisualStudio to enable it. But again, I don't know Visual Studio, so I don't think I will be of much help there. I am sorry
hey @herbglitch i was a member of your discord server, and a couple of days ago i got hacked, and an invite link to an nsfw discord server was sent on every channel on your discord server. it wasn't only on your server, it was on every other server i was in at that time. please unban me from the server. i really enjoyed the community of game developers there, and that incident was unfortunately out of my control. i really hope you see this comment, and sorry for the fuss lol, i just couldn't find a way to contact you other than your yt comment section.
Please keep posting more videos. Worth watching your style.
Thank you, I am planning on making more videos. Sorry for not having a consistent schedule
this video helped me so much. I had no clue how to pull SDL_image submodules. thank you

Great video and great support in the discord server. If you have any questions he is there to help. Amazing experiance
Aaaawesome tutorial 11/10 ...I feel so dumb now :D
video and audio quality has become better
👍
Thank you
Great tutorial!
LETS GOOOOO, NEW TUTORIAL WOOOOOOOOOO
Thank you m'dude :)
love it!!
Thank you :)

I've been banging my head on the wall to build SDL_image with clang and I think I'll give up unless I find someone who cracked it.

its now SDL3 but the SDL_image wont work.... fatal error: SDL_image.h: No such file or directory

hi thanks for your tutorial , whats the theme of your vscode ??
I'm glad this video helped. I believe this theme was Absent (rainglow) from the rainglow extension
the vs code doesn't recognize the lldb debugger, what can I do?
would you mind hopping on discord for help with this? here is my discord: discord.gg/eqz5jHSUy4
Just found your video, probably a longshot but is there any chance you can do the same for sdl_ttf and mixer?
It looks like sdl_ttf and sdl_mixer would be relatively hard to setup with this method as there are some dependencies that might not be easy to work with on windows. However, MSYS2 has packages for all of the sdl stuffs, and might be easier to install the cmake packages. I am still messing around with it, so I am not positive it will work, but it looks promising
Hi, thanks, I'm using vs2019, wen try load webp image it gives me couldn't decode file console message. Any idea?
