<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Courier New">I am experienced in programming with C++ both in console applications and OpenGL programs, using first the GLUT API, and now SDL. I am trying to implement the SDL_sound library with SDL to be able to play .MP3 sounds during a game I am programming for a university course project. </FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Courier New">I am sorry but I have switched to Visual C++ and am having difficulties with libraries, headers, source files and the linking of them all. I my past years of programming C++ I just wrote drivers, and then headers, and source files and the like, but them in one folder and it worked. When trying to use SDL_sound I am confused about the number of different files, libraries and so forth and what to do with them all. </FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Courier New">I am currently hoping to use the wrapper file for SDL_sound written by Dominik Haumann, which is linked to from the SDL_sound main page. </FONT><A HREF="http://www.gmdsoft.de/haumann/classes/"><U><FONT COLOR="#0000FF" SIZE=2 FACE="Courier New">http://www.gmdsoft.de/haumann/classes/</FONT></U></A><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Courier New">. </FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Courier New">I have several openGL video game scenarios programmed and all working properly, so I did manage to get the SDL libraries and headers files in the right folders/locations to compile and link properly.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Courier New">In regards to myself and other new users who may be confused by the number of files and libraries and so forth, can anyone let me now, how to get SDL_sound compiled with a driver properly in Visual C++ 6 for windows. If this information comes forth I will be willing to set up a page for beginners like myself with instructions on how to use SDL_sound for those with knowledge of SDL.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Courier New">I hope you will take some time and give me the few answers I'm looking for.</FONT>
