Difference between #include"SDL/SDL.h" and #include"SDL.h"

I am using Ubuntu 12.04.1 . The compiler I am using is gcc and my IDE is CodeBlocks . I am working with SDL under C/C++ . When I include "SDL/SDL.h" , the program gets compiled and the output is displayed . But including "SDL.h" gives an error :

fatal error: SDL.h: No such file or directory
|=== Build finished: 1 errors, 0 warnings ===|

Also there are 2 SDL.h files in /usr/include -
One is /usr/include/SDL/SDL.h
Other one is /usr/include/SDL.h

What is the difference between both the header files and why is only one path working ?

Solution

  • I'm not sure why you have 2 copies of SDL.h or what that is, but does this help? '"SDL.h" no such file or directory found' when compiling

    If you made a copy you should delete it.
