'"SDL.h" no such file or directory found' when compiling

Question

Here's a piece of my current Makefile: ``` CFLAGS = -O2 -Wall -pedantic -std=gnu++11 `sdl-config --cflags --libs` -lSDL_mixer ``` I have libsdl installed properly, SDL.h is in /usr/include/sdl where it belongs, but it just won't compile. I also have the line `#include "SDL.h"` in my .h files, but still no go. Anyone knows why?

Accepted Answer

If the header file is `/usr/include/sdl/SDL.h` and your code has:

```
#include "SDL.h"
```

You need to either fix your code:

```
#include "sdl/SDL.h"
```

Or tell the preprocessor where to find include files:

```
CFLAGS = ... -I/usr/include/sdl ...
```
