Question

I can’t seem to pin point this problem so I thought I would ask here. I know why this error usually appears, but I can’t seem to figure it out this time. Probably something simple I don’t know or am missing.

g++  -c -I/usr/include/SDL -D_GNU_SOURCE=1 -D_REENTRANT src/Render.cpp -L/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu -lSDL -lSDL_image
src/Render.cpp:8:1: error: ‘Render’ does not name a type

make: *** [Render.o] Error 1

Here is my core.cpp, Makefile, and Render.h

    {
        optimized = SDL_DisplayFormat(temp);
        SDL_FreeSurface(temp);
    }
    return optimized;
}

You need to include Render.h at the top of Render.cpp
