SDL tutorial 0 - install SDL

In this tutorial I show you how you can setup the SDL both on Windows and Linux.
SDL is a cross-platform free-source library which allows you to draw to the screen (so make graphical programs), we'll make 2D games with it, but it can make 3D render as well, if you use it with OpenGL.

@tryingtoprogram

Copy the sdl.dll from your downloaded (and extracted) SDL library/lib folder to the folder, where your executable (compiled) program is.

@TheSimon253

The end of that line is missing, use the link in one of my comment, for the example program (altough I saw, you already solved it)

[tryingtoprogram]

@thecplusplusguy Hello. When I debug, I get an error saying:

Cannot start program because SDL.dll is missing from your computer.

What do I do to fix this?

[TheSimon253]
