Build error about pokegb

[LF-Lin]

The error may be the order of linking to static libraries,

Replacing $(CC) -O2 -Wall -Wno-return-type -Wno-misleading-indentation -o -lSDL2 $@ $<
by $(CC) -O2 -Wall -Wno-return-type -Wno-misleading-indentation -o $@ $< -lSDL2
in Makefile.

It works for me (Linux ubuntu).

I used windows 10 and codeblocks 20.03. I open the file pokegb and selected codeblocks as the IDE. I click build this error appears.

@M90K7 do you have SDL2 installed on your system? I'm assuming SDL2 is in your default include path, but it might not be.

@bioman3020 unforunately it won't compile on Windows directly. You can probably get it working w/ Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) though. I'm not sure, since I don't really develop much on Windows.

This worked, thanks!

I had the same problem as the OP, and moving -lSDL2 to the end of the build command fixed it for me too (Debian Testing, gcc 10.2.1).
