SDL problems with C++ [SOLVED]

[elijahm]

Hello. I've just installed SDL for C++, but I'm getting an error saying that the file is not found...

root@edward:~# g++ -Wall test.cpp -o test
test.cpp:1:49: error: SDL.h: No such file or directory

Do I need to put the SDL.h file into the same directory as my file or did I not install SDL properly?

Thanks.

More context data needed: software

• Excuse my ignorance, but I prefer not to have to translate or find acronyms, so what is SDL exactly in you system
  --maybe someone else has another SDL ? that is not the same thing ?

Do I need to put the SDL.h file into the same directory...
That always helps, at least they know each other then!
--or make sure that the sdl directory is linked to the location, where you put the source code
--or put most data in /home/user/app_location
did I not install SDL properly
Who knows, you would have to provide much more data/context for ..

• How I installed SDL
• How I obtained SDL, source or deb package from Mint repository or elsewhere
• Any configuration tests suggested by SDL installation instructions ?
  --that kind of thing
