Here’s some code that I wrote in DevCpp (windows), now I’m trying to get it to run in linux without much success.
Here is the source code

screen.h

I’m using graphics.h for linux. Basic programs run fine.

What am I doing wrong, how do I get this to work?

    graphics.h contains the following lines:

    /* global variables */ 
    SDL_Surface *screen;        //main drawing screen 
    SDL_Surface *Font_surface;  //font screen  
    Uint32 _fgcolor, _bgcolor, _fontcolor;  //global color numbers 
    pid_t _pid;         //Don't bother with this  
    

    This is a bit strange, but this h-file creates global variables. This means, if you include this file to more than one .cpp files, you have multiple definition error. I don’t know why this h-file is written by such way, the program will be linked only if graphics.h is included to only one cpp file. If your can change this file, add extern keyword before every global variable, and create these variables (if necessary) in some .cpp file.
