Installation Instructions? [Unresolved External Symbol]

[5332Team]

Hi. I've implemented some of your FC code into my project. Your project sounds REALLY cool, and I can't wait to get it working.

My problem is that when I compile I get "unresolved external symbol" errors, in regards to things like "FC_CreateFont" and "FC_Draw." This could be because I didn't install the library correctly. The library files have no .LIB to link to or DLL to use. So, the only way I could think of installing the library was #including the FC header file that came in the download. That's all I did to install the library, because I don't know how to link it without a .LIB or DLL.

I'd love if you could provide some proper install instructions, or a fix to this error! Thanks!

Hey, no problem! If they are FC_* symbols missing, they are defined in SDL_FontCache.c. If you add that file to be compiled with your project, that should take care of those references.

I haven’t released a .lib build, but if you prefer that, you can create a new library solution/project that compiles SDL_FontCache.c into lib and dll files.

Thanks!
Sorry if this is a stupid question, but how do I add the ".c" file to be compiled with my project?
My project is C++, and done in Visual Studio 2017

@5332Team You probably find them in solution explorer using "Show all files" filter and right click into "Include in project"
