带有SDL2问题的Visual Studio代码

Question

I am trying to get SDL2 working with visual studio code and it seems like it can't find the header files.

This is the error I get in the Terminal.

Executing task: C:/MinGW/bin/g++ C:\Users\codyc\Desktop\SDL\SDL2-2.0.8\i686-w64-mingw32\bin C:\Users\codyc\Desktop\SDL\SDL2-2.0.8\i686-w64-mingw32\include\SDL2 C:\Users\codyc\Desktop\SDL\SDL2-2.0.8\i686-w64-mingw32\lib <

Installing a open source library like SDL2 for windows development and doing cross-compiling with tools like mingw32 could be quite challenging for starters.

It is recommended to download vcpkg, which is a open source packager for visual studio C++, from GitHub. Once installed, you can import many such projects through Powershell command line. In your case it will look something like this : .\\vcpjg install sdl2:x64-windows-static
