Bug 3641

Summary: SDL2.lib lacks SDL_CreateRGBSurfaceWithFormat(From)
Product: SDL Reporter: strawberry1546
Component: *don't know*Assignee: Sam Lantinga <slouken>
Status: RESOLVED FIXED QA Contact: Sam Lantinga <slouken>
Severity: normal    
Priority: P2    
Version: 2.0.5   
Hardware: x86   
OS: Windows (All)   

Description strawberry1546 2017-04-30 11:13:26 UTC 
The SDL 2.0.5 prebuilt development libraries for Visual C++ don't work with SDL_CreateRGBSurfaceWithFormat and SDL_CreateRGBSurfaceWithFormatFrom. When linking against SDL2.lib and SDL2.dll, it says ‘unresolved external symbol _SDL_CreateRGBSurfaceWithFormat’ or something like that.

I'm using the .lib from SDL2-2.0.5\lib\x86. Appearently the .lib doesn't include these symbols. As the DLLs are okay, by recompiling the .lib file everything'll work properly.

It is possible to remake the .lib though. I remade the SDL2.lib from the DLL for my own use. But could someone update the prebuilt libraries on the website?

Reassigning to Sam; this looks like a simple oversight in 2.0.5 that we'll fix when 2.0.6 finalizes, shortly.

This will be fixed in the 2.0.6 release, thanks!
