Installing SDL_image & SDL_mixer
Post: #1
Hey, I'm aving a prbem installing those two. I downloaded the two frameworks and copied them to both /system/library/frameworks and /Library/Frameworks... and when I go to compile it says the file don't exist. I did add them to the project though... Is there something else I need todo?

You should download the development packages for each, which include the header files.
You should never modify anything in /System/, either.

ok, thanks 
Where can I find them if they aren't listed here: http://www.libsdl.org/projects/SDL_image/

There is only one binary version of SDL_image and SDL_mixer for Mac OS X. You won't find a special development version like you can find for Linux and Windows. The single Mac OS X version should work.
To get SDL_image code to compile with Xcode, I had to add the search path to the SDL_image header files. The Header Search Paths setting is part of the Search Paths build settings collection. The path should be the following:
/Library/Frameworks/SDL_image.framework/Headers
In addition to adding the SDL_image and SDL_mixer frameworks to your project, you must also add the SDL framework to your project. Make sure you included the SDL_image and SDL_mixer header files in your source code.

Hey again, I thought I would use this thread instead of starting a new thread... For some reason this code doesn't play the images... I'm using the Lazy Foo tutorials to learn SDL so I can port a game I never finished using Lua (on the PSP with Luaplayer). Any help would be highly appreciated, thanks! 
BTW, I tried using a class, but it gave me errors, so I commented out any class related stuff so I can back later to use them... So it may look messy

The probable cause of your problem is that your program can't find the image files. SDL sets the initial working directory to the directory above the application bundle. Unless your images folder is in the same folder as the application bundle, the program will fail to load the images. You have three ways to solve the problem.
- Move your images folder to the same folder as the application bundle. You wouldn't want to do this for a shipping game, but it will work as a temporary solution if you want to test your code.
- Change the calls to load_image so it points to the location of your images folder. Mac OS X applications usually store image files in the Resources folder inside the application bundle. You would have to change your calls to load_image to something like YourGame.app/Contents/Resources/images/ImageFile.png.
- Modify the setupWorkingDirectory function in the file SDLMain.m so the working directory is set to where your images folder is.

Thanks, but I tried the 2nd optio and it didn't work... I have this now
Do I have to change something in the load_image func?
Code:
/*player.*/imageLeft = load_image( "thing.app/Contents/Resources/images/monkey1standl.png" );
/*player.*/imageRight = load_image( "thing.app/Contents/Resources/images/monkey1standr.png" );
background = load_image( "thing.app/Contents/Resources/images/background.png" );

Check to see if the images folder is in the application bundle. Control-click your application in the Finder and choose Show Package Contents to look inside the bundle. If the images folder is inside the Resources folder, then I'm not sure what the problem is.
If there is no images folder in the application bundle, the folder is not getting copied when Xcode builds your project. Remove the images folder from your project and add it again. When adding the folder, a sheet will open. Make sure you select the radio button that says Create Folder References for any added folders.
If the images folders is inside the Resources folder of the Groups and Files list, it should be copied to the application bundle's Resources folder when Xcode builds the project. To make sure, click the disclosure triangle next to the name of your target in the Groups and Files list. Click the disclosure triangle next to Copy Bundle Resources. Make sure the images folder is there. If it's not, select the images folder from the Groups and Files list and drag it to Copy Bundle Resources.
