So I've been battling on and off with trying to get my IDE(s) to use SDL. My first choice is in Code::Blocks(my personal favorite) and I get all of the files copied in to the proper folders as according to http://wiki.codeblocks.org/index.php?title=Using_SDL_with_Code::Blocks and proceed to link the files and I continually get an error saying that no such directory exists. I've checked to make sure the address is right and even changed addresses a couple times just to try.
After that failed then I attempted to do the same game with Visual C++ Express 2010 only to find out that all of the available examples rely on, what is as of this year, a deprecated way of setting it up. It now requires the use of Property Sheets to link with SDL. I haven't been able to find any information on linking through Property Sheets.
Any assistance would be much appreciated.
