SDLTestCLion

Creating sample project in Clion

Requirements to get it working:

• MinGW-W64

• MinGW build of SDL

• Place SDL2.dll in C:/MinGW-W64/mingw64/bin

• Place in C:/MinGW-W64/mingw64/x86_64-w64-mingw32/lib
  

  • libSDL2.a
  • libSDL2.dll.a
  • libSDL2.la
  • libSDL2_test.a
  • libSDL2main.a
    

• Add to compile options the following flags in this order
  -lmingw32 -lSDL2main -lSDL2
  
  

Possible CMakeLists:

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.1)
project(SDL2Sample1)

set(SDL_FLAGS "-lmingw32 -lSDL2main -lSDL2")
set(CMAKE_MODULE_PATH ${CMAKE_MODULE_PATH} )
set(CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD_LIBRARIES "${CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD_LIBRARIES} ${SDL_FLAGS}")
set(CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS "${CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS} -std=c++11")

set(SOURCE_FILES main.cpp MainWindow.cpp)
add_executable(SDLTestCLion ${SOURCE_FILES})

These steps should work in Linux also. Just replace windows directories with Linux directories.
