SDL in KDevelop

Setting up SDL in KDevelop

Last Updated 2/20/06

First thing you need to do is download SDL headers and binaries.
You will find them on the SDL website, specifically on .

Scroll Down to the Development Libraries section and download the Linux development library:

Now run the RPM and let it do it's thing.

After the RPM installs itself, start up KDevelop and start a new project.

Set your new project to be a SDL project.

Everything else should be self explanatory so just keep hitting next.

Now that KDevelop set everything up and gave you a sample source code it's time to build your project. If there's no errors, you're finished.

The RPM also installed the SDL documentation on your computer. It should be at usr/doc/SDL-devel-1.2.9/index.html.

Bookmark it and keep it handy for reference.
