I'm trying to create a window with SDL2's latest version using documentation found here, but I two errors that i can't seem to resolve, the one in the title as well as a very confusing one.
maine.c:8:39: error: expected expression before 'const'
8 | SDL_Window * SDL_CreateWindow(const char *"title",
| ^~~~~
maine.c:8:22: error: too few arguments to function 'SDL_CreateWindow'
8 | SDL_Window * SDL_CreateWindow(const char *"title",
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
And this is my code:
#include <stdio.h>
#define SDL_MAIN_HANDLED
#include <SDL2/SDL.h>
#include <SDL2/SDL_events.h>
#include <SDL2/SDL_video.h>
int main() {
int SDL_Window;
SDL_Window * SDL_CreateWindow(const char *"title",
int SDL_WINDOWPOS_UNDEFINED, int SDL_WINDOWPOS_UNDEFINED, 720,
480, 0);
}
The second error puzzles me the most because I have the required number of arguments already, which is 6.
So far I haven't really tried anything, because there used to be a lot more errors that i managed to fix trough what I know and have found online. This is what remains.
The first three parameters in this line are incorrectly specified:
SDL_Window * SDL_CreateWindow(const char *"title",
int SDL_WINDOWPOS_UNDEFINED, int SDL_WINDOWPOS_UNDEFINED, 720,
480, 0);
You should not precede parameter values with their data types in function calls. It should be:
SDL_Window *newWindow = SDL_CreateWindow("title", SDL_WINDOWPOS_UNDEFINED, SDL_WINDOWPOS_UNDEFINED, 720, 480, 0);
[edit] Corrected specification of the returned value. [/edit]
